Digital Yacht Windsense WIFI Wind System With Mast Head Unit Note: Tablet NOT included. WindSense is a new wireless wind system designed to allow iPads, tablets, SmartPhones and PCs to display accurate apparent wind speed and direction. It features a high quality, precision mast head sensor with 20m cable that connects to a below decks interface unit providing a wifi and NMEA 0183 wired connection. Existing NMEA compatible sensors can also be connected to the NMEA input to allow the wireless network to share other available on board instrument data. It’s compatible with a wide range of apps for iOS and android. The built in wifi will typically footprint a GRP boat up to 30m Product Summary
