Description
Great app with highly visible display for sailing. Support for Bluetooth wind sensor. With user-friendly start timer.
App for tracking sailing speed and direction, but also the wind. It has a display optimized for outdoor use.
When you participate in a sailing race you can use the start timer. The timer can be adjusted to the wishes and needs of the user.
It shows speed and heading and keeps track of race. If tracking is started it monitors the average speed, maximum speed, elapsed time and the distance covered. Wind direction is shown in a wind rose (subscripton required). App can make direct connection with a OpenWind BlueTooth sensor (subscripton required). In that case AWA, AWS, TWA and TWS is displayed in the app.
It also has the ability to show a map and tracks the route in an overlay when map is selected and race is started.
In setup menu landscape can be selected, the display will rotates accordingly, rearranging the speed or map and the heading for optimal visibility during the sail race.
In the settings menu the user can select the units, and the scale of the map during the race tracking.
Simply place your phone a a water tight casing on board of your boat, setup your settings and press start. The app will automatically keep tracking your progress, showing current speed and heading.
Enjoy your sailing, optimize your speed during the race and analyze your data afterwards.

Ratings and Reviews
Timer
Very nice tool for sailing. 2 suggestions. Set units so you can keep them set even if shutting off app. Also and vip. Need to be able to set timer to minutes before hitting start. We use a 3 min timer and it is unusable and inaccurate to use ‘swipe ‘ jestures, on the fly, while trying to anticipate the the actual race start counter.
Great job. Very nice visibility. Ken H
Can we have an option to keep history of mapping each race. Thank you
Developer Response ,
In new version 0.2.01 the settings are saved. Also starttimer can be adjusted for start to 3 minutes. The swipe gestures are now replaced with a sync button. Track is saved and can be visualized later. Depending on type of license, one or more tracks can be viewed again.
Minimalistic=good
It gives you speed in a nice big number, and I don’t need dozens of other readouts on screen. Really needs to remember settings. Shouldn’t go to metric distances just because speed is set to knots; those should be separately configurable.
Developer Response ,
In new version 0.2.01 settings are saved so no need to adjust settings next time you use the app.
