Windsurfing
· v0.48.0
About
SUCCESSOR WANTED! I just don't find the time and motivation for maintaing the app anymore. If you are interested to take over, please contact me.
Records windsurfing sessions with jibe/tack detection. Your legs with their respective distance, average speed and jibe speed will be stored as "laps" in Garmin Connect. Additionally the app computes:
- av. speed on fastest 500m and 250m (as on a straight line between two points)
- av. speed in fastest 10 sec and 2 sec and max speed (as computed by Garmins algorithms)
- the number of legs you surfed
- the average distance of the legs
- the minimum speed you ran in each jibe/tack
- the percentage of time you have been planing (faster than 5m/s, 18km/h, ~12kn)
- your total distance
How to use:
To start recording or switch screens (surfing and pause), press the menu button.
To quit press back or swipe right, you'll be prompted to confirm with a 5 sec timeout.
To get to the settings menu press down button or swipe up (not while surfing). Slect your choice and confirm with start button. To leave settings press back or swipe right.
When you are surfing you will see your current speed (in your chosen unit, dafault is knots), your nautical course, session time, percentage planing (i.e. portion of time, not distance, your speed was above your selected level, default is 5m/s) and a clock. In the breaks you see the current values of some of the above metrics and a clock.
Unfortunately, I can test the app only on Garmins simulator for most devices . So please contact me, if you have a problem with the app on your device.
