This screen is divided into four windows. The window on the top left
provides details relating to the True Wind Angle (TWA), True Wind
Speed (TWS) and True Wind Direction (TWD), which are taken from
the NMEA 0183 record of MWV or VWR. If the wind information is
given in relative terms, the CDU calculates true values using available
GPS course and speed information to make the necessary adjustments.
Refer to the Glossary for definitions on Apparent/True Wind Angle/
Speed/Direction. To the right of the wind information is your Velocity
Made Good (VMG) towards the waypoint. The VMG data is filtered to
show the average speed from the last waypoint to your present posi-
tion towards the next waypoint. VMG is calculated from GPS data.
The CDU will also use the above data to calculate your speed parallel
to wind and can output the VPW NMEA 0183 data sentence to other
on-board instruments.
The window below the wind data provides information relating to your
course and speed. You will find the Course Over Ground (COG calcu-

alarms, and the input NMEA 0183 record from which to derive the
wind information. The NMEA 0183 record should be specified by
the user, because several NMEA 0183 records may contain wind
information. This provides you the capability of knowing the wind
source exactly.
