Read full description

With the GR TRACKER mobile app, participants of sporting events which use services developed by GEORACING can use their smartphones as a GPS tracker. Once started, the GR TRACKER app connects automatically with the GEORACING’s cloud platform and enables to follow in real-time competitors’ performances during the event but also to display indicators such as speed, traveled distance, ranking, timing, GPS positions… Key features of the GR TRACKER app: - Transmits your GPS position in real-time or delayed (if you use WiFi) to GEORACING. - Allows others (organizers, friends, spectators…) to follow the event in live thanks to the dedicated tools developed by GEORACING - Enables comparison between participants - Enables live analysis and post-race analysis at the end of the event Note: To use the GR TRACKER app you must be registered beforehand to an event which uses the services provided by GEORACING. You need to get a code from the organizer in order to use this app. The GR TRACKER app needs an internet connection for the live tracking. Continued use of the GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.

New, novel and highly effective graphical tactical sailing guidance software. Race Guide is designed to put you in the right place at the right time, make smarter decisions and get better results. With Americas cup and Olympic heritage Race Guide provides unquestionable performance gain.  - A standalone tablet/phone tactical solution or connected to the boat instrument network to run using instrument data and link to Navigator software. - Driven by tablet/phone GPS, Bluetooth GPS or boat instrument GPS.  - Live, replay and simulator modes give you the power run realtime, replay or practice.  - Add further value with a Race Guide performance subscription enhancing the predictive calculations and increasing frequency and fidelity. Bespoke techniques remove the noise and variation historically seen with tactical aids so the software runs out of the box, whilst keeping the option for more bespoke configuration via the addition of broader polar data, more detailed environmental data predictions and more in depth understanding of the sensor data on board. These will push the performance gains further, maximising the potential of the guidance.
