b)Press the [ENT] key again.

c)Choose TRUE or APPARENT and then press the [ENT] key.

TRUE: The speed and direction of the wind felt or measured when stationary.

APPARENT: The direction and speed of the wind as it appears to those on board, relative to the speed and direction of the boat; combination of the true wind and the wind caused by the boat's movement.

5. Press the [MENU] key twice to close the menu.
