Yes you should be able to calculate the wind Direction from the Trk and groundspeed. Though shudder at the possibility that wind input will use the Russian penchant to use were the wind is blowing to rather than the aviation standard of where it is coming from .... just leads to more forum discussion ambiguities. This directional thing has been discussed directly with Ilya a long time ago so hopefully its not an issue, though wind directional input is still some weird Angle expression rather than a straight Bearing !

In general terms we know its a "Northerly"

I will get my "prayer wheel' out and start doing some vectors.

Good idea on setting it to zero rather than just deleting it.
