B and G wind gear compatibility with Garmin chart plotter


Recommended Posts

Can't help on the combability but we fitted the WS320 last summer and have done 5000nm with it since. Its awesome and just works!

On our B&G displays it shows the battery charge and signal strength, which may or may not display on the Garmin. We never look at those (as it just works) so shouldn't be a big issue.

You think he’ll be able to calibrate it IT? Speed shouldn’t need it, but direction almost always needs a tweak. I’d be skeptical that he’d be able to calibrate the B&G wind via a Garmin display.

It'll work, but the B&G specific stuff wont be available, like calibration, battery display etc. Best to have a Triton display as well so as to get it perfect... However, I have done another one on a Garmin mfd, and as the wind data is just N2k, it allowed offsets for direction at the MFD. I'd not guarantee they are all like that!
