Mod. please don't move this to "our community " as I am asking technical questions,
Does anyone have any experience with the Garmin unit, or any recommendations ?
I won't repeat my post, it is over on Our community.
Many thanks, Alex.
I've had a lot of difficulty getting a reliable signal from the unit. It keeps dropping out. There is an option to run a 12 volt directly to the black box so I wonder if that would help.
Thanks Zboss,
I may be be wrong, but I understood from the Garmin literature that as I only going for the wind, I don't need a black box?
Trying to get a coherent answer out of any of them would tax a Saint!

I understand I only need the masthead and the instrument and it powers thru the nmea2000, but will it use the boat speed of the chart plotter to give me true wind? Alex
I already posted it in "Wireless windsensor".
I had a lot of problems with Wireless Garmin windsensor - the signal used to drop out near powerlines, close to busy cities.
Changed to wired one with black box - no issues.
