Description
- Race Timer with ISAF starting sequence support
- Cruise view with speed, bearing and other valuable data
- Route View, advanced Waypoint mode to track your way along specified route
- Laps view
In **Route** (NEW) mode you may track you way along specified route. There will be displayed SOG, COG, VMG, Course to closest waypoint, amount of way points along the route (and the current WP), distance to WP, distance to finish, distance covered and Cross-track error.
The Navionics (navionics.com) is used to setup the route.
**Note** This mode is not available on D2/Bravo/Titanium and Fx3/HR watches due to low available memory on these devices.
In **Cruise** mode you may see at one glance, actual speed, bearing, max speed and avg speed for last 10 seconds. Also, there are set of helpful indicators, like GPS status, recording status and actual speed vs avg speed, which is very useful for sail trimming.
Moving average of bearing for last 10 sec. could be helpful in long-distance cruise.
In **Race Timer** mode you may see remaining seconds till start, actual time and speed. You can also adjust countdown timer by one sec up and down, and down to next minute.
In **Laps view** you may see data - max speed, average speed, distance and time for last 20 laps

**Route** mode:
This is a bit tricky. Watches has a limited UX ability and setting a waypoint[s] is not a very convenient, so I decided to use some thirp party apps designed for route planning.
So, in general it works like this:
- plan your route in Navionics (Navionics.com) mobile app or web-site.
- open Navionics mobile app and export your route to Telegram bot, named "YA-SailingBot" (you have to install telegram messenger on your iPhone or Android and type @YA-SailngBot in search to enable the bot)
- in response *YA-SailingBot* will send back your user id
- you have to put this ID in settings of Yet-Another-Sailing App, using Garmin Connect mobile application. (open Garmin Connect mobile app, then tap device icon on the top row - Activities, Apps & More - Activities & Applications, choose Yet Another Sailing App and tap Settings). You need to do this just once, any uploaded route will have the same user id, unless you change your Telegram account.
- now open YAS app on your watch and choose Route - Load Routes.
- choose route and you ready to go!
UP and DOWN buttons on your watch will change current waypoint.
START/STOP button will start/stop track recording, just like in *Cruise* mode
In **Cruise** mode
- press start/stop button to start/stop recording. This option available only if GPS signal strong enough (gps indicator yellow or green)
- press back button to add new lap. Laps statistic available in *Laps View*.
In **Race Timer** mode
- UP add one second to countdown timer
- DOWN subtract one second from countdown timer
- BACK round timer to nearest minute down
- START start/stop countdown
After countdown ends, app will automatically add one lap (if activity is recording) and switch to *Cruise* mode.
