Boating (BETA)

The Boating activity app allows you to track the action on the water, regardless of boat type. The app displays your position, compass heading, speed (in knots), statistics, information to return to your starting point, and a basic track map (support for built-in maps coming soon). The app also has a MOB (man overboard) function, accessed with a long press of the BACK button, which guides you back to the person in the water. After you return to the dock, the activity is saved and uploaded to Garmin Connect just like any other activity. The app is currently in BETA so the potential exists to run into some bugs. NOTE: Please do not leave suggestions, requests or bug reports in the reviews. Instead, please use the "Contact Developer" button above; I will endeavour to reply to everyone.
