ND Wind Vector Indications

Hi all,
Could somebody kindly clarify how the systems on airbus or boeing (or any other with the facility), come up with the wind vector display on the Navigation display.
What I mean by this is where does the reading come from??
Is it through GPS comparing the Track/Heading/Groundspeed/True Airspeed??
Thanks all,
