G'day all, dachopper here, developer of the Sail Racer pro, Kitesurf Racer, Windsurf Racer and Wingfoil Racer Garmin apps.
(These apps give live speed, waypoint/route steering cues, race countdown with time, speed and distance cues, VMG and VMC cues, tack and gybe angle feedback, top speed alerts and best 250/500m. And record a gps file for replay.)
It's been a while since my last update, so here's what I've been working on since making those;
All of the above apps will now automatically share and upload your session to the web replay / debrief tool I built called SailRacerPro (sailracerpro.com (
sailracerpro.com)).
All that is required is to install one of the garmin watch apps , and create a trial accout on sailracerpro.com ( no payment details needed ). Once in the web app click on sync Garmin and follow the prompts, with the watch app open, press menu, scroll down to sync and add the code provided from sailracerpro.com to authorise your watch to upload the sessions automatically.
Have Garmin Connect Mobile open on your phone + bluetooth and data enabled to support the auto transfer. Files appear in your library in debrief mode.
You can still manually Upload a FIT or GPX file from any watch app (mine, Waterspeed, Surfr or Garmin's own) and you get polars, VMG and a breakdown of every tack and gybe straight after your session.
There's a 14-day free trial. I'd really value blunt feedback from this crowd, especially on what's missing or what you'd want to see from your sessions.
The online replay will let you replay the session, look at manouve entry/exit speed, distance lost and angles turned through. Add laps, superimpose several laps at the same time, superimpose several sessions at the same time, generate polar graphs an it does a lot more.
