MOB vs WakeRoute

This app duplicates the MOB button on your Chartplotter. It works without an iPhone or internet connection and can be launched with one touch on your Apple Watch. It takes a GPS point at the sea according to your direction and speed, and time delay for finding the signal. This way it always saves the exact GPS point where you pushed the button. It is constantly showing the true course to the point, distance to the point, and time at the water, since the point was set. The graphics in the app will help you see your position towards the point. If you fail to pick the person from the water you can correct his position by resetting position, while passing by. This application can provide essential assistance during training MOB on the water, especially at night or in restricted visibility conditions. All the coordinates are saved in the Watch memory and will be uploaded to iCloud. This way the last point is always saved in the memory of the watch and you will get your data even after the app restart.

Race tracking for the whole fleet, on the phone you already carry. Hit Start before the gun, race, hit Stop: WakeRoute puts everyone who sailed with you into one result with standings, a replay of the race, start-line and tack analysis, and a race video to share. No dedicated tracker to buy, no subscription, no account. Every boat with the app is on the board.
