530W wind computation

[bsalai]

On a recent flight from KROC to KUUU (Newport RI), a great place to
visit by the way, another guy from our club and I tried to use the wind
computation function on our recently upgraded 530W. We could enter the
data easily enough, but it didn't do the calculation. It just shows 0
kts at 000 degrees.

Has anyone else with the upgrade noticed this?

Yep! The winds aloft calculation function is inop on my 530W as
well. I had a demo from a Garmin rep prior to the upgrade where he
demonstrated the 530W interface with an ADC to provide winds in real-
time, but I am coming to the conclusion that Garmin forgot to leave
the function available if you DON'T have an ADC onboard...

Same here on my 530w.
Garmin says it will be fixed in the next software revision.
