Understanding How Wind VMG and Waypoint
VMG Are Displayed in the Data Bars
The chartplotter automatically switches between displaying Wind
Velocity Made Good (VMG) and Waypoint VMG in the data bars.
Waypoint VMG is displayed under the following conditions:
• The Route Leg data bar displays Waypoint VMG when you are
navigating a route or an Auto Guidance line.
• The Sailing data bar displays Waypoint VMG when you are
navigating a route or an Auto Guidance line, and you turn the
Route Leg data bar off.
