Now with ANCHOR ALARM - alarm watching safe distance from anchorlocation
The challenge when sailing to windward is to know how high topoint into the wind.
When pointing higher, the boat goes slower, but there is lessdistance to travel. On the other side, when pointing lower (fromthe wind), the boat goes faster, but the distance is longer. Thetrick is to find the optimum angle, that balances speed withdistance. And that is what NaWi does for you.
Once the optimal route is calculated it is displayed on the map.With simple dragging of tacking point you can adjust the route(e.g. to avoid collision with dangerous navigation points or visitinteresting places). Once you are ok with route, NaWi will navigateyou to follow your optimal route.
Navigation screen is designed to provide all essentialinformation in readable form even in hard sailing conditions. Therotating compass over the map shows the optimal course, speed,course value, time to destination and time to tack are alsodisplayed. Everything in one place, but easily visible.
Your optimal route is projected on the Open Sea Maps. These canbe downloaded to your device in time when you have Wi-Ficonnectivity and then used offline during the sailing.
