More than a compass. More than a race timer. NavTactiq™ gives every sailor the power to start smarter, sharper, and dialed in NavTactiq™ — Your Edge on the Water What is NavTactiq? It’s not just an app — it’s a professional-grade sailing instrument, built by a competitive sailor, licensed captain, and coach who uses it every day on the water. I poured decades of experience into NavTactiq to give you the same level of clarity, confidence, and tactical advantage that top sailors rely on. Whether you’re racing, cruising, or just learning the ropes, you deserve tools that are built to perform on the water. Sail smarter. Start sharper. Stay on course. On the water, every second counts. So does every degree. NavTactiq brings both into sharp focus by combining two essential tools into one seamless interface. A race-optimized countdown timer Nail the perfect start with a timer so intuitive you can sync it with a swipe—even mid-tack. Designed to be easier than sending a text. No instruction manuals needed, if you have an iphone you already know how to use NavTactiq. A super-readable compass display Big, bold, and built for real-world conditions. Whether you're in full sun, crashing waves, or low-light situations, your heading stays clear and easy to read at a glance. Designed for real sailors NavTactiq is built to be used on the water, not just designed to look good. It runs smooth, stays visible, and keeps working without draining your battery. Features include: Always-on mode to keep your heading and timer visible Night mode, color themes, and manual brightness control Ultra-efficient performance for long days on the water One purchase. Yours forever. No subscriptions. No ads. No gimmicks. Just a clean one-time purchase with free lifetime updates. I use NavTactiq every day, and I’m committed to improving it with every update. It started as a compass. Now it’s a powerful compass and race timer — and it's only getting better. As a one-design sailor, I ensure it meets class rules and delivers what racers actually need.

Simple Perfection

I’m a casual racer and cannot justify spending the money to get a real race compass especially when I have an iPhone in my pocket. This app gives me what I need a simple compass to use for racing. One wish would be a calibration method like commander compass where you can slide two fingers and calibrate against a known point.

Developer Response
Thank you so much! That’s exactly why I built NavTactiq. I’ve always felt the same way about expensive compasses when the phone we already have can do the job better.Really appreciate the calibration suggestion, that’s a great idea, I'd like to include that with a future update. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback and for using the app, it means a lot.

This is perfect in my laser…having my phone onboard is a great safety tool as well. The numbers are easy to read and I love the change in color option👍

In this version we've introduced our touch race timer with start modes for 5, 3, 2, and 1 minute sequences for sailing, the timer opens and closes with a long-press on the screen. Swipe left or right to change the sequence, tap to start, swipe to sync up or down. We have also updated the color mode and brightness menu so it's easier to use, it's opened with a swipe left in compass mode.
