Opinions on Garmin wireless wind guage
Looking at adding a Garmin wireless wind gage to the top of our mast. I have heard old wireless systems did not work well. the Garmin system I am looking to add is GNX™ Wireless Sail Pack 43.

Thoughts?

We have a wireless Tacktick wind sensor (now Raymarine) up a 60' mast and it works fine.
