Description

AUGMENT YOUR COCKPIT INSTRUMENTATION - tcSpeeds gives you real-time speed data for sailing, boating, kayaking, paddle-boarding, or anytime/anywhere you are on the move.

tcSpeeds provides advanced knowledge of your current speed, average speeds, maximum speed, directional speeds, velocity made good, wind measurements, and much more. You will be able to measure your performance on a straight course with our proprietary Pilot Performance Index (PPI) computation. Compare how good you are at the controls with your friends or against your autopilot.

tcSpeeds stands on its own and does not require external hardware or connections to operate. tcSpeeds uses your device's own internal GPS, accelerometers, and compass. For Wind measurement, you will need to acquire the Calypso Ultrasonic Wind sensor. More sensors will be supported in the future.

Easy to use and conceived to minimize operational burden on the user, because we know you have other things to do. Zero setup required: install, launch and tap the start button.

Designed for iPhones, and GPS-equipped iPads.

SuperMaxUniverse ,

Fun to use!

Lots of unique features. I love the Vectors page and Max speed audio alarm. Great companion to my chartplotter!

AceArnie ,

Update- Tc generously corrected the problem .

A week ago I paid $6.99 for this app now it is free and you have to buy features. These should be free to current owners!

Developer Response ,

Hi AceArnie,
Sorry about that. This is my first app and I did not know how to proceed with this pricing change. I agree with you. Please send me an email at support@transitionalcontinuum.com and we can arrange that.
