When you have a GNX Wind instrument paired with a gWind Wireless 2 transducer, you know which way the wind is blowing.
GNX Wind instrument
GNX Wind gives you the wind data you need to make informed decisions. Featuring an easy-to-read, black-and-white LCD display with bonded glass and customizable color backlighting, GNX Wind connects to your NMEA 2000® network to display 2 data fields and a digital wind rose simultaneously to display true1 and apparent wind data, steering guidance, boat speed and 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 let you configure the screen layout to your preferred settings. Screen configurations include more than 15 key 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 up to 15 m (50 ft). Accurate wind signals are transmitted via an ANT connection directly to a GNX Wind instrument or to a compatible Garmin GPSMAP® chartplotter. The transducer features the renowned Nexus® dual-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 stand-alone wind systems or expanded into complete networked systems via NMEA 2000.
1True wind information requires input of water speed and heading.
