This transducer provides essential wind speed and angle data, crucial for sailing performance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSystem architecture and integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    Unlike direct NMEA 2000 sensors, the gWind Race integrates via a proprietary Nexus network. It connects to the boat’s NMEA 2000 network through the included Garmin GND 10 interface. This specific architecture enables advanced wind sensor calibration using NexusRace™ software, offering superior customization and precision. The GND 10 acts as an essential bridge, translating Nexus sensor data to the NMEA 2000 network and allowing data use with third-party navigation software such as Expedition and Adrena. In comparison, the Garmin gWind Wireless 2 offers more direct wireless NMEA 2000 integration, while the gWind Race, with its Nexus wiring and GND 10 bridge, is oriented toward enhanced connection reliability and calibration capabilities, often sought in regatta applications.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications and installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The GND 10 interface, the central component of this setup, measures 170 x 90 x 50 mm and weighs 196 g. Its IPX7 waterproof rating allows it to withstand accidental immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Maximum power consumption on the NMEA 2000 network is 1.1 W. Installation requires specific wiring: the included Nexus cable must be connected to the Nexus server’s network port (NX2 or BUS) and not the wind port, then to the GND 10. The kit includes the sensor, the Nexus cable with field-installable connector, the mounting bracket, the GND 10, and the USB cable for calibration. The sensor can be mounted on an existing masthead bracket or the supplied bracket. Sensor orientation must be configured via a Garmin instrument (such as the GMI 20) if the cable is not oriented exactly forward, parallel to the keel axis.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55859033407828,"sku":"010-01228-00","price":797.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main_4278aebf-5f4f-414e-9030-1e94438a5554.jpg?v=1779186333","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-gb\/products\/garmin-gwind-race-wind-vane-anemometer","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
