Oops - I forgot about that! However, I'm not sure the Wind instrument will use
SOG instead of speed through water, or the gps heading. There's no mention of
it in the manual.

Right - nearly.
He wrote he also has wind instruments.
As far as i know, when you have the GPS data (Speed, Heading) transfered to
SeaTalk, the wind Instuments can display true wind speed and true wind
direction.
I don't have Wind instruments - but I heard it should work.


But anyway - what you need is a bridge between SeaTalk (ST60) and NMEA (
GPS). You need to buy a SeaTalk-Nmea bridge from Raymarine, or if you
would like to try a "Homemade Solution" you could check
