I'd like a big wind arrow that floats on the Chart View, so I can quickly visualise how the wind is blowing across the course. It would help pick up gybe-sets with the kite etc.

Can't you set up some 'solid' arrows in one of the 9 Weather formats
ie Weather / Settings /Wind 10 M / Simple Arrow / Line width 4   etc

This wouldn't work for Instrument Wind, would it?

Oh OK I see what you mean...Maybe a window but they are mostly numeric
The B&G has lots of graphic choices if you have a display in the nav area
I agree it would be a nice feature in Exp
Cheers,

What about the Window -> Sail graphic which provides a graphical wind instrument that you can dock?  Or the display wind barb on boat (winds) in display options?
