Gene was asking what info it could add to his Windex. He got some good info and with lower prices, he may get one. But to even hint it's essential for him on his Orion 27, sounds like we're working for West Marine.
For me(ME), GPS is essential.

- Windex? Windex? Oh- you mean a "destination finder"
- True wind display is a reality check

- I like my instruments
- Besides a crook in the neck, also not staring at the sun which is often up there.
- That's what Gene should hear. A WSD should be fun and may give you more info.
