SailSpeed 0.2.02

The app serves as an effective tool for tracking sailing speed and direction, as well as wind conditions, featuring a display that is optimized for outdoor use.

For participants in sailing races, the app includes a customizable start timer that can be adjusted to meet individual preferences and requirements.

It provides real-time data on speed and heading while also monitoring key race metrics. Once tracking is initiated, the app records average speed, maximum speed, elapsed time, and the distance covered. Wind direction is depicted via a wind rose, though this feature requires a subscription. Additionally, the app can connect directly to an OpenWind Bluetooth sensor (subscription required), allowing it to display Apparent Wind Angle (AWA), Apparent Wind Speed (AWS), True Wind Angle (TWA), and True Wind Speed (TWS).

The mapping feature offers an overlay that tracks the route once the race is underway, providing navigational insights alongside performance data.

The setup menu allows users to select landscape mode, which adjusts the display accordingly for optimal visibility of speed or map orientation during races.

Settings can be customized to choose preferred units and adjust the map scale during race tracking.

To utilize the app, simply secure your phone in a waterproof casing aboard your boat, configure your settings, and press start. The app will seamlessly track your progress, continuously updating you on current speed and heading.

This tool enhances the sailing experience by enabling users to optimize their performance during races and subsequently analyze their data.
