SraBuddy is the companion app to SRA (SailRaceAdmin) and makes setting any course for sailboat racing simple and accurate. SRA is a comprehensive race management app that also transmits its GPS location to a cloud based database. SraBuddy reads that database and displays its location as distance + angle form the committee boat. SraBuddy can also measure local relative position which simplifies the setting of offset marks. It also provides for the navigation of a series of waypoints. This is primarily designed for navigating a course of pre-defined buoys where the user enters the latitude and longitude of each buoy ahead of time. It could also be used for navigating any other route on water or land.
