True wind:
In this field Wind (True or North) speed (Kt or m/s) and course are displayed. Note: true wind is wind relative to
own ship heading. For more information, see chapter "Wind sensor" on page 353.
Set and Drift:
If user selects Manual tick box, this enables user to set manually speed and course of drift. Note: You can select
manual drift only if there are no automatic sources of SOG and COG. (i.e. You neither have a dual axis log nor any
position receiver available.)
Angle = difference between heading and COG
Spd = speed component of the drift vector
Crs = course component of the drift vector
Vector defined by (SOG and COG) is equal to vector sum of vectors defined by (SPD and HDG) and (set and drift).
