The algorithm to determine true wind is a marine industry standard and not just “Raymarine’s†way.
The above entry includes a link to a very good Ockam (http://www.ockam.com/docs/WhyPaddles.pdf ) article addressing True Wind calculation. Raymarine products require the following data items to calculate True Wind data:
• Apparent Wind (Wind instrument)
• Heading (Autopilot or Heading sensor)
• Speed Through Water (Speed instrument or speed transducer with a speed paddle wheel)
