iRegatta Status

AIS data received over WiFi will be displayed in a Radar-like view. (In-App-Purchase). this app also comes with a watch app, which will allow you to view data on your watch as well as operate the start line features.  There also is a lift indicator, showing you if you have been lifted by a wind shift, and graphs showing the development in your speed and VMG over a configurable amount of time and a permormance bar.  All features you would like to use can be bought as In-App-Purchases. 'this app Pro' has Basic, NMEA and AIS features enabled. this app is a tactical Regatta application as well as a crusing navigation application for the iPhone.  Navigate to your favorite pre-stored waypoints, or create a new temporary waypoint by cross bearing using the iPhone internal camera, or by distance/bearing.  If you have a iPhone anyway, this is a cheap way to introduce you to the benefits of a GPS device, to help you leverage your regatta sailing performance.  Here you have your count down (including sync), and you can mark your starting line and this app will calculate the distance to the line and indicate the favorite line end, if wind direction is set.  Set your wind direction by storing your heading while sailing on upwind on starboard and port tack, or simply type it in.  Besides that, the watch app will track your sailing as an activity and help you close your activity circles using HealthKit.  View your current position and trip odometer and max speed since last reset.  The build-in GPS unit and the unique graphical possibilities of the iPhone, makes it ideal for such an application.  Here you can see your 4 most important readouts, fore instance Heading, Speed, VMG and Performance.  Instead of internal GPS you can get instrument information over WiFi from NMEA0183 instruments. (In-App-Purchase).  In this way you can either mount it near your other instruments on your keelboat or strap it to your arm if you are sailing a dinghy.  All features are included, but GPS and NMEA0183 input will shut down after 4 minute.  Record your track and view it on the map or export it for further analysis to your computer.  You'll also see a polar diagram with your speed and VMG (wind speed dependent).
