Garmin gWind™ Wireless 2 Transducer: Precise Wind Data Without Cable Clutter
A reliable wind transducer is the heart of the navigation setup on any sailboat. With the Garmin gWind™ Wireless 2 transducer (part no.: 010-01616-00), you can take your onboard electronics to the next level. At waypoint-gps.de, we offer you this innovative instrument, which combines state-of-the-art measurement technology with incredibly simple installation. If you want to avoid the laborious task of laying cables through the mast (up to 15 m / 50 feet), this transducer is the perfect solution for your vessel.
Superior Nexus® Technology for Maximum Accuracy
The gWind Wireless 2 transducer utilizes the proven twin-fin design. This construction ensures extremely stable angular wind measurement, so the instrument does not deflect with every boat movement. In combination with the lightweight, three-bladed propeller, the transducer delivers absolute top values for wind speed even in very light wind conditions – a decisive advantage over classic cup anemometers.
Wireless Freedom and Autonomous Power Supply
Thanks to integrated ANT® technology, the wind transducer communicates completely wirelessly with your compatible display devices. The power supply is intelligently designed: a highly efficient solar panel mounted on the transducer arm continuously charges the internal battery. The battery has a lifespan of approximately three years and can be easily replaced afterwards. This ensures you always have reliable wind data, even on long voyages and night crossings.
Seamless Integration into Your Garmin Network
The gWind Wireless 2 transmits its data directly to a Garmin GNX™ Wind instrument or to compatible GPSMAP series chartplotters. The data can then be easily fed into the NMEA 2000 onboard network via the network to supply autopilots or other multifunction displays.
