Interactive True Wind Calculator — Freeware
As a public service to mariners and as a way to promote our other products and services, Starpath is happy to provide free of charge a very convenient Windows program that computes true wind from apparent and plots the vector triangles.
Starpath TrueWind — Java version
Here is a java version that you can run online now to see what the installed program will look like. The download version, however, is a very compact C++ program that is more efficient than this preview version.
TrueWind Help and Discussion
This is the help and discussion file that is installed with the program. It includes a discussion of the role of true wind along with instructions on solving the problem by plotting or by calculator (neither of which is, of course, as convenient as this program).
