gWind Wireless 2 pairing

The gWind Wireless 2 uses ANT to transmit information to the following Garmin displays:

  • GPSMAP 74xx(xsv)
  • GPSMAP 76xx(xsv)
  • GPSMAP 84xx/86xx
  • GNX Wind


To pair with a GPSMAP 74xx/76xx or 84xx/86xx:

  1. Begin on the Home Screen
  2. Choose Settings
  3. Choose Communications
  4. Choose Wireless Devices
  5. Select the gWind from the list
  6. Chose Enable
    • The chartplotter will now begin searching for and connect to the Wind transducer


In contrast to the chartplotters, the GNX Wind will automatically pair with the gWind Wireless 2 as soon as it is within range (~200') of the display.  It will then store that particular wind transducer to its memory and will listen for it specifically from that point on.


If you need to unpair the gWind Wireless 2 from a GNX Wind:

  1. Press the Menu button
  2. Scroll to 4.0 SENS (Sensors)
  3. Press the Menu button
  4. Scroll to 4.1 WIND
  5. Choose OFF
    • If you need to re-pair, select the ON option
