Course and Wind Plots

A couple of plots showing the Speed, Apparent and True Wind Vectors from the ride around the park. Unfortunately the Kestrel turned off after 15 mins, which was only about 5 mins after the GPS started tracking. But the concept looks to work. Now to fine tune the weather vane for the Kestrel, it had a tendency to go berserk in the higher winds, but otherwise working alright.

Speed (no colour gradient)


Apparent Wind


True Wind


All Vectors (culled the data for clarity)


All Vectors (a lot of data to sift through)
