Could this be an airspeed or GPS based speed indicator for all directions? Could be very useful for winch operations in the sea, where it's otherwise very difficult to stay at a position. (Just moving waves, not many fixed points to concentrate on.) This would also explain why it's not in every model. Then again, maybe such a useful instrument only exists in my dreams ... :-) m. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
