2. Wind calculation - not done in 302

The 302 does calculate wind, and it is used by the 303 and several third
party software packages. I've found it to be fairly accurate, but I'd
be a bit skeptical about what it's reporting after long periods of
cruise...

I'm read, and it seemed to be the case while I was using GN II, the wind
will update when you change course by about 20-30 degrees for at least
10 seconds. I believe this is true for most glide computers that don't
have heading information available to them.
