- But a compatible GPS plotter, the GNX Wind displays 2 data fields and a digital wind rose, so it can simultaneously display real 1 and relative wind, steering indicator, boat speed and more
- Displays true 1 and relative wind speed and wind angles, true 1 wind direction, boat speed, speed over ground, VMG, position, heading over ground and sailing upwind
- Includes gWind Wireless 2 transducer that is easy to mount and eliminates the need to run cables for masts up to 15m (50ft)

When you have a GNX Wind instrument along with a gWind Wireless 2 transducer, you know which way the wind is blowing.
GNX Wind instrument
GNX Wind gives you the wind data needed to make informed decisions. The GNX Wind has an easy-to-read black and white LCD screen with glued glass and backlight, where the colors can be customized, and can be connected to the NMEA 2000 ® network to display 2 data fields and a digital wind rose simultaneously to display real 1 and relative wind data , steering instructions, boat speed and much more. Low power consumption of 350 mW in daylight (no backlight) and 400 mW at night (medium backlight) is perfect for sailboats. Customizable user settings allow you to configure the screen layout to your preferred settings. Display configurations include more than 15 important marine parameters for wind, sea and navigation. It can even wirelessly connect to a quatix ® 3 GPS marine smartwatch via ANT ® technology to stream wind data directly to your wrist.
gWind Wireless 2 Transducer
gWind Wireless 2 offers an easy-to-install solution that eliminates the need to run wires through masts of up to 15 m (50 ft). Accurate wind signals are sent via an ANT connection directly to a GNX Wind instrument or to a compatible Garmin GPSMAP ® plotter. The transducer features the famous Nexus ® twin-fin technology with a 3-blade propeller that provides accurate wind speed and stable wind angle in light wind conditions. Also available in a wide range of wind and sailing packages (sold separately) that can be used as standalone wind systems or expanded to complete networked systems via NMEA 2000.
1 True wind information requires input on speed through the water and heading.
