Gauge pictures for Wind, Speed, Compass etc

I'm working on my own physical display to show the Wind speed, direction, heading, compass direction, etc. etc. I've all the NMEA information, I can display this as text, but I would be much nice if I can display it in graphical way, like with gauges and meters. For this I'm search for pictures that I can use in my project. Any suggestions where I can find such pictures?

It is somewhat hard to point you anywhere better as you have not specified a format you need or anything that would otherwise help anticipate what exactly it is you expect...

Take the search from Nohal and add 'clipart' or try again with 'nautical symbols' or 'icons' and you will start to find stuff like this:







On the other thread there was a post with a software 'widget' for gauges.

Another thing to do is identify the basic style you want from pictures like the above and find someone who could adapt the graphics for you.

Re: Gauge pictures for Wind, Speed, Compass etc

Thanks Nohal and Spot this is useful feedback.

For clarity as Nohal was asking for clarification on the pictures I was looking for,
- For showing the wind direction, a picture with 0' at the top and at both side going down in a circle with each time 10 degrees or so. See attached.
- For showing a compass in which I can plot de Heading, Electronic compass, etc.

These pictures should not already have an arrow or so in them as I need to print the arrow with the application I'm working on.
