Tracking

allows you to store the geocordes as well as the speed and course of your trip.

There are two modes, "regatta"-mode regularry takes a waypoint every few seconds - which leads to a lot of data - while "cruising" only stores values when things have changes. For details see "Help".

Trackings runs in the background even if the app itself is no longer visible.

Recorded tracks are displayed at the open-sea-map and may be exportet to gpx, csv and jpg-image.

Regatta

provides a regatta start countdown. Long tab at the time display to set the countdown time. After countdown the display switches to the Sailing view.

Anchor Alert

reports by sound and light signal if your boat reaches a configurable distance from your anchor position. Press long on the distance-display to set the alarm ringtone. The alarm distance can be set by pressing the smaller "Change" button at the bottom. The anchor alarm starts by clicking the "Start", stops by "Stop".

Warning: The anchor alert does not replace the deck guard. It must only be used supportive. Apart from hardware limitations of your device also the Android operating system can interrupt background processes as anchor alarm is. This will prevent Anchor Alert from working as expected.
