Sail Buddy receives NMEA data from external hardware via a WiFi connection. Your hardware must support WiFi or be connected to a multiplexer with WiFi support. Sail Buddy includes a "demo" mode that plays sample NMEA data if you just want to see how the app works without connecting to an NMEA network.
Features:
• Displays course and speed and NMEA data in a large, easily read display
• Support for TCP and UDP connections
• Support for Sail Timer wind instrument™ and Sail Timer wind vane™
• Route tracking with full capture of GPS and NMEA data
• Export routes in CSV, KML, GPX and GeoJSON
• Alarms for lost data connections and potential groundings (if your hardware supports depth data)
• Start and stop instruments and tracking with your Apple Watch
• Supports Split View on newer iPads (use Sail Buddy alongside your favorite navigation app)
Looks like this will really be a useful app. Will update rating once I have a chance to get on the water!
Best app like this I’ve found. Very user friendly and intuitive. Love it.
Just downloaded this to try the GPS and tracking features - they work well and I appreciate the large, clear display that's easy to see outdoors or when moving.
I love this app. Have used it stand-alone as well as NMEA with my SailTimer Wind Instrument. I would like to be able to toggle in Configuration between True and Magnetic Course readings to display in the Navigation panel. Also, I would like the option to display Lat/Long in degrees-minutes-decimal minutes. Thanks & keep up the good work.
