If you are using the race timer on the Multi or Log instrument you will
have a graphical 60 second countdown timer "popping up" on this
instrument.
In this example there is 45 second to start.
3.6.1
Geographic Wind direction (TWD)
To get this function, set NAV = On C14 (See 5.1.4).
Text [TWD] is displayed shortly, then is the abbreviation for Wind
directions displayed, [SSW], [NO], [WNW] etc. together with the
numerical direction below. The graphic direction is also displayed by
pressing MODE one or more times until the display to the right is
displayed together with the "pointer".If the Compass transducer is
missing but there is a GPS installed, you may use the GPS as a
reference for heading under the criteria that the vessel must be moving.
Change C33 from USE Hdc to USE COG.
(See 5.3.3)
When the boat is laying still, the TWD will be random readings if
COG is used.
You may also check long term geographical Wind shifts by entering
a "marker" at present Wind direction as a remainder.
The "marker" will stay until power off or by clearing the function.
A Wind shift of 5° will be easy to detect after hours of sailing.
Select function [TWD 360 ] with MODE, and when the text [TWD] is
flashing press KEY.
The "marker" is now set. When there is a constant Wind shift, you will
see this "marker" as a slow blinking reminder of the origin Wind direction.

WCV, Waypoint Closing Velocity
To get this function, set NAV = On C14 (See 5.1.4).
The text [WCV] is displayed with the actual speed towards your Waypoint
if a Waypoint is selected in your GPS navigator.
3.6.3
X-track error, XTE
To get this function, set NAV = On C14 (See 5.1.4).
The text [XTE] is displayed shortly when this function is selected, then a
symbolic "boat" is displayed on one side of the "road" which is displayed
as three vertical lines.
