Sailing

This sailing tracker is a high-performance sailing tool designed for competitive regattas and record speed sessions. By combining a regular race timer with real-time navigation data, it puts every essential metric right on your wrist. KEY FEATURES: MINIMALIST DATA DISPLAY: The userinterface is specifically desgined for high-visibility clock and long batterylife. RACE TIMER: Fully adjustable 1, 2,3,4 5, or 10-minute countdowns. Use the integrated "Sync" function to align perfectly with the race committee’s signals mid-sequence. HAPTIC & AUDIO ALERTS: Never miss a mark. Combined vibration and audio beeps at critical intervals in the starting sequence: every minute, every 10s in the last minute, and the final 10s countdown to the start. MAP INTEGRATION: If your device supports a map, map integration allows to navigate with confidence using the live map with adjustable zoom levels. PERFORMANCE TRACKING: Automatically monitors your 10s average speed and logs your maximum speed to push your limits every session. Real-time Speed in Knots and Heading in Degrees, and 10s averages to avoid noisy data. ACTIVITY RECORDING: Full FIT file integration allows you to save, discard, and analyze your performance later on Garmin Connect. PRO TIP For the most accurate speed and tracking data, ensure your watch is set to "1s Recording" in the System Menu. This allows to synchronise with the Vantage Platform, and analyse your data after your race or training session.

FIRST-TIME SETUP For best track accuracy, set your watch to 1-second GPS recording before your first session: hold MENU → System → Data Recording → Record Interval → Every Second. Smart recording does not allow to synchronise with secondary platforms such as Vantage. When you open the app, a reminder screen appears at launch, which you can ignore after this setting is done in the overall system settings. CONTROLS BY WATCH TYPE 5-button watches without touchscreen (e.g. Forerunner 255, Instinct): · UP / DOWN — navigate between screens · BACK / LAP — control the countdown timer · MENU — open settings · START held 3 seconds — start or stop an activity 5-button watches with touchscreen (e.g. Forerunner 955, Fenix 7 / 8, Epix 2, MARQ 2): · Same controls as above. Touch input is automatically disabled while the app is running to prevent accidental activation by water, sweat, or gloves — use the physical buttons only, no need to enable watch lock mode. 2-button touch watches (e.g. Vivoactive 5 / 6, Venu 2 / 3 / 4): · Swipe left / right — navigate between screens · BACK / LAP — control the countdown timer · Long-press screen — open settings · START single press — start or stop an activity SCREENS Clock — current time. Red square = idle, green triangle = recording. Map — live GPS map centred on your position. Your full activity track is drawn automatically while recording. Zoom adjustable in settings.

Speed — current speed in knots and best 10-second average for the session. Summary — total distance (nm) and elapsed time. STARTING AN ACTIVITY 5-button watches: hold START for 3 seconds.
