SailTimer™

Veröffentlicht von: SailTimer

Beschreibung

Display your optimal tacks on a chart, and the exact distance and time on each tack. Standard GPS chartplotters do not account for tacking distances. But if they do not know the distance you will travel, how can they calculate your correct ETA? SailTimer gives you a quick and easy display of your optimal tacks and TTD™ (Tacking Time to Destination).
Whether for cruising or racing, it is important to be able to determine the best heading on all points of sail. Sailing off the wind increases boat speed but lengthens the distance. Heading too far upwind shortens the distance but reduces speed. To help you select the best heading, SailTimer continuously updates your optimal tacks.
Operating Instructions and Unique Features:
• Save waypoints on the map. Rename them. Then easily display the optimal tacks, tacking distances, headings and times to get to a waypoint.
• Use our wireless Wind Instrument (www.SailTimerWind.com) to see wind direction, angle & speed. Just enter a waypoint and your optimal tacks will update automatically as the wind changes.
• Worldwide vector charts: If you have the Navionics Boating app, you can also use the same charts here with a yearly subscription. Navionics terms of use: SailTimerApp.com/vectorcharts.html. Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off in iTunes Account Settings at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, with the same cost for renewing the subscription again.
• Marine charts (raster) based on the paper charts are also available as low-cost in-app purchases for USA, US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, large-scale charts of The Bahamas and Cuba, and New Zealand. Aerial photos and road maps worldwide are available free. All can be used offline.
• The white crosshair icon in the top left is the “Follow-Me” button. If clicked, it turns blue and keeps your location in the center of the screen as you move. Unselect when not moving to look around the map, and when you want to zoom in and out.
• If using a Wind Instrument, you can enlarge the Wind Speedometer to keep an eye on wind gusts. Click the Graph button and you can save or share a graph showing your boat speed and wind speed. The graph saves these for up to 24 hours as long as the device is not rebooted.
• Audio Navigation: when using the wireless Wind Instrument, optionally hear wind conditions or boat speed when they change by more than a set amount. It is like having a tactician in the cockpit with you. You can put your iPhone/iPad away safe and dry, and use a Bluetooth speaker or earbuds. Keep your hands and eyes free for sailing — no screen required. You can even shut off the screen to reduce heat and power consumption, and continue to hear audio reports.
• Your device will not go to sleep when the app is open, to allow you to continue to monitor your progress on the chart. You can also continue to track your tacking results with the app running in the background or when the device is asleep (unless you hard-quit).
• Click on the pin at the end of a pair of tacks to see the distances, heading and time on each tack.
• Custom polar plots: The app can learn your unique sailboat's speed profile on all points of sail, for the most accurate tacking results.
• Switch to the port or starboard tack to avoid obstructions, or let the app automatically display the tack nearest to your current heading.
• Save, import or email your GPS track.
• Convert from Apparent to True wind speed & direction.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. This app may use your location even when it isn’t open, which can decrease device battery life.

Great wind app and great tactical sailing display

After years of frustration on my end - and a lot of patience on their part-I now have a beautiful setup and a reliable display using Mid WIFI. I am using an iPad mini now. - latest version All of the other times I was using a full size iPad. The mini seems to work 500% better. Customer service on their side stuck with me. Great job.

Perfect

The SailTimer is perfect and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. So glad I can save my waypoints, and time how long it will take me to get to my destinations. But it does so much more than that! If your looking for a great tacking app/GPS for sailing, you found one! I recommend!

Very nice experience

user since 2009 I have had a variety of boats, iPhones and iPads over the years that I have used this app with. My only complaint is that one of the big brands hasn’t licensed this software to use in a permanently mounted GPS chartplotter.

Very Disappointed

I purchased the Sailtimer Wind Vane while in preproduction. After 5 vanes,I finally got a working vane 2 months ago. I will not go into all the troubles that I had here. I am very disappointed in the APP also. After all my troubles with the hardware, I can’t get the APP to do what is promised. When I launch the APP, I often can’t get the maps to load. When they do, I do not get a ground speed read out. I have been unable for the polar plot to “learn”. Positioning on my boat is critical to get the app to connect to the vane. I can’t figure out how to get the app to go from present position to a way point. I have spent hundreds of dollars and messed with several vanes over several years and still have not been able to get a fully functioning product. I must say, that even though tech/customer support has sometimes been a tad rough on me, they have always supported their product.

Not a great experience...

I purchased the SailTimer wind instrument and have so far been very disappointed. After a long wait, my wind sensor arrived heavily scratched and with a battery that will only reach half a charge. The SailTimer app eventually connected to the device but drops off frequently. Tech support is only through email and my technical questions emails have gone unanswered. Return policy is essentially a joke. Lots of promise on the design side but the company appears to lack the organization to make all the parts and pieces actually work.

Great product

Great product for the active sailor. I'm eagerly waiting for new wind instrument.

No stars

Five Star hype. No stars for substance. The one star is in default to get this review to print. How disappointing. Such a great idea. Maybe it will upgrade someday and I'll have something for my time & $.

Rubbish on the ipod touch. Until they allow the current position to be set manually (ie without GPS) it is functionally useless.
