Re: RaceData - Expedition Data on your phone or watch

. "Believe me, both these environments can equally challenging with a 7/8/10" tablet swinging around your neck."

This, for me, is key.  Despite having a spectra strap to hold the tablet on my person, it is so much easier to be hiking and trimming runners, which is an active role for me as well as nav/tactics. Using the watch for data to relay time to layline, time to marks, TWA at next mark etc, to the team really does help.

Re: RaceData - Expedition Data on your phone or watch

Im trialing RaceData2 on android, looks very good.

Pinging start line both pin and starboard appears at the gps location on the boat not the bow..

Expedition sets it at the bow but RD 2 sets it at the stern where the GPS physical location is.

botat length setting n RD2 makes no difference as to where the ping mark appears?

Please advise how to correct this.


I note that Nmea Remote for IOS and Ventus PRO also places the mark where the GPS is and not offset to the bow.
