Accronyms i70

RE: Accronyms i70
Hi again Steve,

I've been searching on internet the web pages you suggested me, and others.
As far as I can see, most of the acronyms used on the i70 manual does not correspond to a "precise" NMEA sentence (0183/2000), but to a simple descriptive sentence of the data displayed, but shortened (i.e.: AWA is not a NMEA specific sentence but an acronym of "Apparent Wind Angle").
Besides, terms such as "PILOT HEADING" or "TACK HEADING" aren't acronyms and obviously not a NMEA sentence.

Other acronyms, such as "CMG" ("Course Made Good", I guess) demand some sort of explanation on the type of data that is been displayed.

There are others easier to understand: AWA - TWA - etc.

And some others, claim for some description in order to be better understood: VMG vs. VMG WAYPOINT.

So please tell the people in the Documentation team to do their best to be as clear as possible, adding a couple of pages to the manuals to explain each term or acronym. They will be rewarded by the "standard" sailors!!
