Hello Together,

all devices on our small boat are connected via Wifi/TCP with our Qelec QK-A034 bidirectional NMEA-multiplexer, that collects and routes all sensor-data, AIS, GPS, VHF-Radio etc. 

So SOG, COG, STW, etc are available in QTVLM. Wind data come from our Calypso wind sensor with the NMEA 0183-Sentence "MWV": apparent Windangle 0-360° apparent Windspeed in knots.
Unfortunately, our Raymarine tiller pilot ST1000+ can follow the wind in windvane-mode, when it receives the wind-data with the sentence "VWR", which are the apparent wind data relative to the boat.
Can QTVLM make this transformation and send out the "VWR"-sentence?

Certainly that can be done. I note that suggestion for a next release
