Wind speed and direction, for example.

How??? By itself, a GPS cannot do this. Only as a part of a
Flight Management System (or similiar NAV System) with an
input of TAS and HDG can wind speed and direction be computed.
A GPS will only provide TRK (course made good) and GS of the
six item wind triangle.... HDG, TAS, TRK, GS, Wind DIR, VEL.
