[DG11] New System EV-200 and Wireless wind

[Derek - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hi Dirk,
Thank you for your enquiry.

The Wireless Wind sensor and the wired wind sensor, are both accurate and in practice there is little to choose between them in terms of performance. The primary differences are associated with the obvious installation differences. the benefits of the Wireless system lie within the more advanced sailracing features and calculations for corrected wind displayed.

The calculated data is calculated locally, so having accurate heading information allows the additional data to be calculated locally on each display. For example, TRUE wind can use GPS and Heading data - provided it is available on the network - if the sensors, ie EV1 are not available to give heading data, then the displays cannot calculate the data and so will not display it.

I hope this helps?
Regards
Derek
