Instruments
• Boat Speed (SOG) – Accurate speed over ground in knots, km/h, or mph
• Bearing & Compass – Know your heading and navigate confidently
• VMG (Velocity Made Good) – See how effectively you're sailing toward your target
Race & Tactics
• Race Timer – Easy countdown with auto-start tracking and a large, glanceable display
• Waypoint Navigation – Build a library of reusable marks and plot your course in seconds
• Wind Forecasts (Premium) – Overlay live wind across your race area, with direction, speed, and gusts shown right on the map. Scrub up to 48 hours ahead to see how the breeze will shift, and choose the forecast model that's most accurate for your waters (UK Met Office, ECMWF, GFS, and more)
Track & Review
• Route Tracking – Record your GPS track as a GPX file for post-sail analysis
• Track Playback – Replay your sail with speed, distance, and your saved marks shown in context
