Good day,

This might be a stupid question but somehow I can’t get my head around it. Is there a way to show a compass/arrow on the track map what the wind direction is? Or with the gauge? Somehow I can’t get it to work although I have the direction of wind (in degrees) and the car position on track by GPS coordinates?

Hope you guys can help me!

There isn't a way to add this to a track map, however you can put pretty much anything in a dial gauge.

Create a new Dial Gauge, select you 'Wind Direction' channel, set the limits as required (if the auto range doesn't suit) and then in the display tab change the sweep angle to 360. That should give you a wind direction pointer.

Hi Adrian,

Thanks a lot for the reply. What I did now is the ‘heading arrow’ show up as wind direction. That way I can see on every part of the track when running there what the wind direction was. And normally I should be heading the right direction anyway
