Foil Compass
· v1.1.0
About
*Disclaimer* - Use at own risk. This is new and only personally tested so far
Foil Compass is a data field for ocean downwind foilers/paddlers etc. who can't always see their finish.
Preload up to 5 destinations in the app settings. When you start your activity, Foil Compass anchors the start at your current GPS position and draws a straight line to your active destination. The watch shows four things at a glance:
• Big left/right arrow — which way to correct
• Distance off the line, in metres
• Progress along the run, as %
• Distance along the line in km
Colour-coded by severity: green within 100m of the line, amber 100–300m, red beyond 300m. Inside the on-line threshold (default 50m, adjustable), a green "ON LINE" indicator replaces the arrow.
SETUP
Add Foil Compass to your activity data screen. ie SUP → add datafield → Foil Compass
Configure destinations in Garmin Connect Mobile →Devices → your watch → Connect IQ Apps → Foil Compass → Settings. Pick the Active Destination before launching.
The start anchor is captured on first GPS fix, so you can launch from slightly different put-ins on the same run without re-configuring. Designed for downwinders where the finish isn't visible or a new run.
Any feedback let me know
