PGN 128000 -- Nautical Leeway?
I've bought my boat a little present -- an Airmar DX900+ electromagnetic log transducer. I've lusted over these for a while -- they are supposedly more accurate than my older CS4500 ultrasonic log (+/- 0.1 knot), but the killer feature is they measure not only speed but DIRECTION of the water stream, so directly measure LEEWAY, a piece of data which would be extraordinarily useful sailing upwind, something I do a lot of.



The only problem is my Triton displays won't display this information. The transducer has bluetooth and you can see Leeway on a tablet, but I'd really like to see it on one of my instruments. Does anyone know whether anyone is making an instrument MFD which can display this?
