Waypoint VMG appears under the following conditions:

route or an Auto Guidance line.
The sailing data bar shows waypoint VMG when you are navigating a route or an Auto Guidance 

line, and you turn the route leg section of the navigation data bar off.

Wind VMG appears under the following conditions:

The sailing data bar shows wind VMG when you are not navigating a route or an Auto Guidance 

line.
The sailing data bar shows wind VMG when the route leg section of the navigation data bar is on 

and you are navigating a route.

The compass tape data bar appears in a row across the top of a chart or a 3D chart view, above the 

navigation data bar. It shows the current heading, and an indicator that shows the bearing to the 

desired course appears while navigating.
