GNS 530W wind display

I recently had an OAT probe added to my Arrow so that the G5s now display TAS, wind speed/direction, and crosswind components. Pretty slick BUT I noticed that my GNS 530W now displays wind speed and graphical direction also!! I can find no reference to this display in GNS 530W manuals. I'm not complaining but just curious as to whether others have noticed this also. Photo of the GNS 530W display attached. Note the wind speed and vector in lower right corner above ETE.

    Yes, indeed! I had the wind vector on my 530 in my Seneca years ago, lol. :)

    It occurred after I had the OAT probe installed along with the GAD 13 so it makes sense but I don't see any reference to this "feature" in the literature for the 530. Not complaining!!
