Waterspeed Sailing, Wing, Wind
Track GPS Watersports & share
Water lot of fun you’ll have with this app. Waterspeed is designed for water-based sports and activities of all kinds; from sailing to surfing, powerboating to stand-up paddle-boarding.
The app provides all the information and tracking you could ever want and is designed for Apple Watches with GPS, and for iPhone and iPad (where it also works with iOS-compatible external GPS).
Waterspeed is useful long before you hit the water, too: it gives advance weather, wind and tide forecasts, so you know what conditions to expect and whether to slap on the waterproof sunscreen.
When you’re on the water it gives you real-time speed, heading, trajectory and distance in the measurements of your choice, and if you use it on iPhone or iPad there’s real-time mapping too in both Map and Hybrid (satellite overlay) modes.
The app automatically saves your route so you can review it later, and it gives you stacks of stats to delve into. It even integrates with Apple Health.
Whether you’re a sailor or a surfer, a boarder or a boater, Waterspeed is a wonderful tool to have on your device.
