SailFreeGPS

SailFreeGPS is an innovative navigation application specifically tailored for sailors seeking an intuitive and feature-rich sailing assistant. Designed to enhance sailing adventures, it provides real-time information about your location, course (COG), speed (SOG), maximum speed, and trip distance. It offers valuable insights into your speed average and includes a magnetic compass to ensure you're navigating correctly.

One of the standout advantages of this app is the inclusion of a historical data feature that records COG and SOG for up to 6 hours, enabling analysis of the impact of sail trimming on your vessel's performance. Additionally, it boasts a GPS information filter for improved accuracy, which averages the last set of measurements you specify.

It doesn't just keep you informed but also allows easy sharing of key navigational details with friends. In critical situations, such as a Man Overboard (MOB) maneuver, SailFreeGPS swiftly stores the location and guides you back effectively.

The display of your track on Google Maps with a 24-hour history offers a clear visual of your journey on the water. For those involved in regattas, the app includes a countdown timer and a departure line feature to gain a competitive edge. With the convenience of storing up to 8 waypoints and an active GOTO function with Estimated Time to Arrival calculations, planning and managing your sailing routes has never been easier.

To support a wide range of sailing needs, the ability to save and load tracks in GPX/KML file formats is a key feature. Sailors can also calculate distance and heading with ease, enhancing the versatility suitable for every boat, motorized or sail-powered. Enhanced navigational security is given with anchor and course alarms that alert users to potential drifts or course deviations.

For users seeking an ad-free experience with enhanced capabilities, the premium version offers additional features such as expanded waypoint capacity, relative bearing and tack angle displays, full-screen graph views, track segmentation based on speed, and customizable map and display settings.

Remember to calibrate the compass within the game for optimal results, ensuring that your sailing experience remains safe, efficient, and enjoyable. SailFreeGPS stands as your dependable companion on the water, helping you navigate the seas with confidence and precision.
