Well, there you go... I hadn't even noticed the purple bug. Stevelup, you're right it's there and does what I need.
Let's say the bug reads 320 and the wind is, say, 050/30kt, that would mean a rough WCA course of about 337. If I fly 320 as per the GPS instead of 337 (my plog), won't I be drifting left 17 degrees and repeatedly turning right to regain track?
But wait, the GPS will always show the true course of the aircraft and NOT the heading of the aircraft won't it?
So, the DI might show 337, but the GPS will show a steady 320, because that's the course that the GPS is taking over the ground! I see!
