Garmin GWS 10 Wind Sensor

Overview

• Maximize the performance and speed of your boat with the use of wind vane technology
• Uses a wind vane for detection of wind direction and an anemometer to register wind speed
• Captures barometric pressure and air temperature data

This Garmin Wind Sensor offers a real edge and provides the ability to gather wind speed and direction measurements with a single, integrated unit. The GWS 10 installs with ease – providing data output to your Garmin display via NMEA 2000 cable and bus (which also powers the GWS 10).

The GWS 10 is designed to interface with Garmin's GMI™ 10 universal marine instrument display or GPSMAP® 4000 & 5000 series. This "smart" transducer also adds barometric pressure and air temperature data – offering weather station capabilities.

The GWS 10 uses a wind vane for detection of wind direction and an anemometer to register wind speed. These measurements enhance your boat's potential as you adjust your sail accordingly to harness the wind's strength.

Besides delivering wind measurements, the GWS 10 captures barometric pressure and air temperature data. When combined with other sensors, the GWS 10 provides those on board the ability to gather specific wind data such as ground and true wind, wind VMG and track heading.

Accuracy: Speed ±5%; Angle ±5°; Air Temp ±2°C; Barometric Pressure ±3mbar.
