SailControl vs PyNav

SailControl transforms your device into a professional-grade navigation and performance assistant. Seamlessly connecting with your vessel’s AIS and NMEA chartplotter, it brings your full instrument panel to your iPhone and Apple Watch. By combining real-time AIS target tracking, wind metrics, speed insights, GPS positioning, and onboard sensor data, SailControl gives you an all-in-one situational awareness solution - right in your pocket. Whether you’re a competitive sailing athlete striving for performance gains, a recreational sailor seeking safety and confidence offshore, or a professional mariner managing critical navigation tasks, SailControl adapts to your needs: - Sailing Races: Gain a competitive edge by tracking rivals in real time, analyzing their speed and course, and adjusting your sails or maneuvers with precision to outpace the fleet. - Recreational Sailors: Sail with confidence using clear visualizations of vessel traffic, wind conditions, and speed insights for safer, more enjoyable cruising. - Mariners & Captains: Enhance safety with precise motion telemetry, and situational awareness in challenging waters. - Vessel Spotters & Enthusiasts: Identify ships, monitor movement patterns, and log encounters with professional accuracy. - Marine Researchers & Surveyors: Collect reliable positional and telemetry data for studies, inspections, or field operations. - Coast Guards & Rescue Teams: Benefit from fast, portable vessel identification tools that complement onboard systems during operations. Built with SwiftUI and a modular real-time architecture, SailControl ensures seamless performance, high reliability, and a modern, customizable interface. From improving racing strategies to increasing safety at sea, it is the go-to digital cockpit for anyone passionate about the maritime world. To receive AIS and NMEA data, you need to configure the IP of your vessel’s AIS and NMEA chartplotter, SailControl Pro requires a subscription. A 7-day trial period is offered so that you can explore the PRO features. SailControl Pro includes: - Advanced vessel filters: search by name, MMSI, and more - Advanced NMEA instruments: Apparent Wind, True Wind, ARPA radar, Motion Sensors, GPS status - Unlimited “My Vessels” tracking: Add more than two(2) vessels to your tracking list - Map recording and Race data export: save and share your tracks, export time/laps as images or to Apple Health - Personalised settings: sort by distance, set max-distance filters - AIS/NMEA parsing controls: choose exactly which messages to process - Underway-only view: display vessels currently underway, to reduce lag in crowded areas - AI Bow Sentry (Experimental): Use artificial intelligence to analyze a live camera feed from your iPhone or an RTSP camera installed near the bow of your vessel. AI Bow Sentry assists in detecting potential obstacles and collision risks by identifying objects ahead of the boat and improving forward awareness. - AI Sail Trim Assistant (Experimental): Receive AI-powered sail trimming insights using your iPhone camera or an RTSP camera positioned near the steering area. SailControl analyzes sail shape and provides experimental recommendations to help optimize trimming decisions and sailing efficiency.

NMEA NAVIGATION HUB + PYPILOT REMOTE CONTROL PyNav serves two kinds of sailors: - Have a pypilot autopilot? Control it from your iPhone/iPad AND display all your NMEA instruments. - No pypilot? Use PyNav as a standalone professional NMEA navigation hub. FREE VERSION - Autopilot tab + Settings Full control of the pypilot autopilot: - Engage / disengage the autopilot - Modes: compass, wind, GPS, true wind, navigation - Current heading + target heading entry - Real-time rudder angle indicator - IMU data: pitch, roll, heel, rate of turn - Full PID gain tuning (P, I, D, DD, PR, FF, WG, Deadzone) - IMU compass and rudder calibration - Tack settings - Pilot profiles (basic, wind, gps, simple, rate, absolute) - Servo stats: amp-hours, voltage, temperatures, runtime - Direct WiFi connection to the pypilot Raspberry Pi hotspot - no router needed The free version gives access to pypilot data only - no external NMEA instruments. PRO VERSION - Complete navigation hub One-time purchase, lifetime - no subscription. Works WITH or WITHOUT pypilot. Just needs a NMEA/WiFi module and an iPhone or iPad. Optimized for iPad - also works on iPhone with adapted layout. DASHBOARD - Customizable unified view 6 configurable, drag-and-drop panels: - Wind: dynamic rose or raw data grid - Navigation: SOG, COG, GPS data - Autopilot: engage/disengage, target heading, rudder indicator, IMU - Depth: color-coded - Pressure: hPa value, 3h trend, history chart - Engine: RPM with color coding (nominal / warning / danger) Resizable panels, 1 or 2 column layout. WIND - Apparent and true wind Dynamic wind rose, 5-minute history chart, real-time AWA/AWS/TWA/TWS. ENGINE INSTRUMENTS RPM, coolant and oil temperature/pressure, battery/alternator voltage, engine hours, fuel flow, exhaust and sea water temperature, gearbox state (Fwd/Neutral/Rev), transmission oil. Tank gauges: port/starboard fuel, fresh water, grey and black water. Unlimited custom charts (any parameter vs RPM or time). NAV - GPS and waypoint navigation Compass rose, true and magnetic heading, SOG, COG, STW, latitude/longitude (DD°MM'SS), waypoint navigation (bearing BTW, distance DTW, cross track error XTE), arrival indicator. CONFIGURABLE ALARMS On all NMEA data: depth, speed, heading, pressure, wind, RPM, temperatures, oil pressures, voltages, fuel levels, rudder angle. Each alarm: custom name, threshold, condition, individual on/off. Triggers: sound + vibration + on-screen banner. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Free: iOS 13.4+, working pypilot setup (Raspberry Pi), direct WiFi connection to pypilot hotspot. PRO: any TCP/UDP NMEA/WiFi module (Yacht Devices, Quark-elec, Digital Yacht, Hat Labs, Actisense...) + iOS 13.4+. Pypilot optional. Supported protocols: NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 Raw, Pypilot (TCP).
