Ratings and Reviews
Simple et intuitif
Bonjour, je viens de télécharger l'appli et le pdt me semble conforme à ce que j'en avais lu.
En quelques heures on acquiert les fonctionnalités essentielles. A contrario je me questionne,malgré une lecture, peut-être pas suffisamment assidue du guide d'utilisation, des propositions de routage. Quand je choisi une route face au vent avec un angle au vent sélectionné à 45° mini, le logiciel me propose une route directe au moteur. Je présume qu'il s'agit d'un pb de paramétrage et je remercie par avance le support pour son retour.
Developer Response ,
Le routeur passe au moteur si il va plus vite au moteur qu'à la voile, ce qui est souvent le cas par vent debout.
Il faut donc jouer sur le réglage de la vitesse du moteur et de son seuil de déclenchement pour rester à la voile..
Pour répondre à cette demande, nous avons aussi ajouté en 2022 un seuil de declenchement du moteur en dessous d'une certaine force de vent (TWS).
Avalon vous proposera alors une route tirant des bords, peut être plus lente mais plus agréable.
Très bonne application pour choisir la bonne route
Avalon permet d’essayer virtuellement différentes solutions pour aller d’un lieu à un autre. La comparaison de ces tactiques est intuitive. On peut imposer des waypoints de type portes pas seulement des points. Ensuite il suffit de faire son choix de « skipper » en imposant la route réelle en posant quelques waypoints
Idéal pour le navigateur qui aime réfléchir sur la navigation en fonction des éléments variables de la météo et des courants
Le coût des cartes du SHOM est raisonnable, on peut aussi utiliser sa licence Navionics de l’application Boating pour disposer de cartes mondiales sans ajouter de dépenses
Merci
Simple et efficace
Après avoir galéré avec weather 4D j’ai apprécié la simplicité du logiciel qui intègre de nombreuses solutions comme les multi routes ou l’enregistrement des polaires. Et ce qui fait encore plus la différence c’est la disponibilité de l’équipe…incroyable
