User reviews

Turn on AVG speed

Can’t see a way to turn on average speed. Would be a nice feature. Help??

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.

Response from developer

In new version 0.2.01 settings are saved so no need to adjust settings next time you use the app.

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
