B&G's Award Winning Sailsteer!

In this video I discuss the various features of B&G's award winning Sailsteer. In order to simulate the features of the Sailsteer instrument, I used the Zeus3 demo mode. In the video the simulation goes through a few tacks.
Things to watch for in the video:
The course over ground (COG) 'hourglass' indicator
Magnetic heading, the largest number on the compass rose
True (T) and Apparent (A) wind indicators
Laylines and the highlighted areas representing wind-shifts
Rudder position indicator
One thing I didn't mention in the video is the blue arrow at the center. This arrow represents the trigonometric difference between the over-ground vector and the through-the-water vector... yeah.. not in the video.
Long story short, it is the measured and calculated value of the tidal current. Specifically it is not, a predicted value from a tide table. Remember, this measured value will only be as accurate as your paddlewheel is clean.

I have a B&G zeus3 and wanted to insert a steer into the map (overlay),
but I can't do it even according to the manual. Can you advise me where I make mistakes so that it does not appear steer in the chart in plotter zeus 3
Thank you so much

Hi, how are the boat laylines determined by the Zeus3? Is this a user or boat manufacturer entered fixed angle? Does the Zeus3 do real time calculations to change that angle, based on the actual performance of the boat? In other words, if i was to change the sails (deploy a code d maybe), would those laylines change (even though the wind or water current might not have changed)?

Did you ever figure this out?

You only show the easy part!! I have the plotter and the wireless wind vane....how does the plotter work out the apparent wind? True wind and apparent eind are vectors, and vector addition with be required....how is this calculated??
