Hi all,
I just would like to know if it's possible to have the wind data that SD displays inflight rounded up or down to whole numbers? Being shown "270/3.2" is just hard to decipher (due to the very small font) and makes processing unnecessarily complicated.
Many thanks for any hints,
David

It's a decent suggestion, but it's worked that way for a very long time and the first time (I think) that anyone has mentioned a problem with it. So we wouldn't change it lightly. So to be clear, you do want to see the wind (as you've turned on the instrument) but you want the text to be bigger?

Hi Tim. 
Just getting rid of the decimal place would be an improvement in legibility. I mean, honestly, who cares if the wind is 3 knots or 3.2 knots inflight. Round numbers just makes the output easier to assimilate. 
The text itself does not need to be bigger. 
Thanks for thinking about it in any case.
