I have an Axiom Pro MFD and am having difficulty getting TWS/TWA/TWD to show up as a page overlay on the charts.
The wind speed/direction/angle is coming from an Airmar 120WX weather instrument connected to a Furuno RD33 display. The RD33 properly shows true wind speed/direction/angle and apparent wind speed/direction/angle. The RD33 is connected to the SeatalkNG network.
I can also get both true and apparent wind speed/direction/angle on my laptop and Ipad which is being output from a NNEA2000 wifi gateway connected to the SeatalkNg network. To me this implies that the parameters TWS/TWA/TWD are being output to the SeatalkNG network.
When I try to insert TWS or TWA as an overlay on a chart it shows no data (dashes only) despite there being wind (per what the RD33 and laptop/Ipad's are showing). The weird thing is I can get apparent wind (AWS and AWA) parameters to show up as an overlay, just not the actual true wind speed/direction. Obviously when I am at the dock and not moving both true and apparent will be the same but I'd like to be able to display the true wind speed/direction while underway.
I've tried in vain to find a solution to this problem. Is there some sort of bug in the software not recognizing the TWS/TWA/TWD parameters? Thanks
