You can buy these windmeter apps and you connect the wind measurer thing to the headphone port of phone or ipad.
Im wondering if anyone has one and of you can get one that would dispay the wond info on a navionics chart.

Yeah I have had the Vaavud one for two years now and find it pretty good. Well it works perfectly really but I don't really use it very often. Mostly when at anchor for interests sake when a squall passes over. Sometimes when sailing, when I've had to reef deep and wanted to have base knowledge of what wind strength it needed to reef.
