Default Maretron WSO100 - NMEA 2000® Ultrasonic Wind / Weather Station

I have not tried this product, but have instead used the AirMar
equivalent. It contains wind, barometric pressure, compass, and GPS.
All NMEA 0183 output. Anything that displays NMEA works for it, we use
a Furuno RD-30 display to go with it. Also, we use a Shipmodul
Miniplex-42BT so we can pick the data up on a computer.

Has anyone used this product? What was your experience ? Is this much

better than the mechanical version (e.g. a ST-60 wind machine) ?

Do you need the Maretron display, or are the Raymarine E-80 charplotter

and ST-60 wind machine displays fine if you just want apparent or true
wind speed ?


Thank you for your time to respond
