Description
Issue details
The wind direction and speed is heavily related to the airspeed and ground speed. As such, the wind speed icon should be moved to the HUD near the airspeed and ground speed readings. I don't think it belongs on the map. I circled two possible locations without moving anything else. If #2029 was implemented, this could be merged with it to provide a relative wind vector.

Research direction
Start in Mission Planner's desktop UI by locating the current wind speed and direction icon on the map, then inspect the HUD area containing the airspeed and ground speed readings. Compare the two suggested HUD locations in the issue image and verify that other elements remain unchanged. Done means the wind indicator is displayed near those readings instead of on the map.
