Hi all,
I just would like to know if it's possible to have the wind data that SD displays inflight rounded up or down to whole numbers? Being shown "270/3.2" is just hard to decipher (due to the very small font) and makes processing unnecessarily complicated.
Many thanks for any hints,
David

Wind arrow gives quick reference. Click on field to display relative headwind or crosswind components.
Reference wind arrows displayed on map
Reference METAR in weather tab.
Using a larger screen device is also an option.
Plenty of options I think.

Many thanks for your reply Kim! 
A bigger display isn’t unfortunately an option in my present cockpit. 
Still find it a bit unnecessary having wind speed shown down to decimal points (never needed wind speed SO precise in either my military or commercial cockpits to date — SD users must be extremely exact pilots! ;-)
Otherwise I’d like to forward this as a suggestion to the programmers – please just round the numbers up or down in this box. 
Thank you

             Hi Tim. Just getting rid of the decimal place would be an improvement...

     You are right. I will get it done.
