FI70 graph suggestion

I'm installing a TZT13x (inc. DRS4d-NXT, SCX20, five (5) FI-70's) on my 50 foot sailboat and looked hard at the competition before deciding to replatform on Furuno. I'm a convert but would appreciate some sailor focused features in the FI70 and TZT13X using the data already available on the N2K.

1) As a sailor, I would like to see a graph of wind speed over time to indicate how the speed is trending in order to start reefing or shaking out sails. The time axis should be selectable as 15 minute, 30 minute, 60 minute, three hours.

2) As a sailor, I would like to see a graph of true wind angle over time to indicate how the angle is trending in order to adjust course. The time axis should be selectable as 15 minute, 30 minute, 60 minute, three hours.

Appreciate a place to make suggestions.
 
You can graph the wind on the TZT13X sailing Instruments page. Please see attached photos. However, you cannot graph wind on the FI-70s.

Agreed-I finally found the graphs on the TZT13X instrument section and those pages look pretty similar to the ones I set-up. It's a slick interface but it's the FI-70 that I'm looking for. Here is what Raymarine and B&G have. The data is on the network and the FI-70 has it, it's a matter of storing and presenting on a graph. raymarine maxi.jpgwind plotbandg.jpg
 
Indeed. Wouldn’t it be great if it could graph more than that? New product suggestions…
