The G1000 has wind vectors - but I have seen the main wind vector and the wind vector on the inset (both on the PFD) showing crosswinds from opposite directions at the same time. It normally occurs with light winds, but still curious how presumably the same calculations and data can come up with winds from opposite directions on the same PFD.
