User reviews

This works

Coupled with a NMEA String, this very effectively addresses rotating mast applications.

Excellent product

I’ve been using this device on a 55’ cat. It provides wind data to my raymarine system including wind vane mode for autopilot. Using the NMEA kit to capture signal from 72’ mast. Developer is active and helpful.

Simple and effective

Nice app, no setup or fine tuning to do. Comm is great and presentation clean and easy to refer to.

First rate

Fine app, with quick and thorough responsive help from developer. Couldn’t be more pleased.
