About the application:

Sailware allows sailboat racers to input courses and track progress to the next tag in a race with info such as VMG to course, angle to the next tag, and sailing time/distance to the layline. Sailware also provides programs to assist sailboat racers time the begin of the race/regatta. Each sailboat/yacht race's GPS track is recorded so that it can be reviewed after the regatta completes. Key Features: Import/Export courses and marks in GPX format. Easily attach GPX files to e-mail with the Sailware sharing features and import e-mail attachments and files by simply choosing them in the apk to begin Sailware GPX importing. With Sailware Bonus you can export GPS sailing tracks for completed races. Sailboat racers will appreciate the ability to differentiate marks by color and kind and to label the starboard or port rounding. Marks are automatically advanced as you receive near to them. All text readings are shown in white font on a black background to maximize readability in all conditions. The race timer can be set for a standard countdown of any length. With Sailware Bonus, an audio timer is accessible to hold the squad in sync and the begin time can be set to a specific time of day, even to the second, to handle pursuit starts. Once the race timer is set, sailboat racers can easily adjust the timer to match the committee boat. Sailboat racers with a bonus subscription have access to programs to assist them begin on time. Racers can set a begin line and then Sailware indicates whether the sailboat is early or late to the begin. Sailware adjusts for the sailboat or yacht size and GPS placement, so create sure to configure your sailboat or yacht measurements in the settings. Sailware records the GPS sailing track for each regatta that can be reviewed later. Sailboat racers can playback the regatta or view a GPS sailing track of the race. This is very useful for updating tag places if the initially entered coordinates do not match reality. Bonus subscribers can export the GPS sailing track of past races and courses to the GPX standard format. Sailware supports NOAA charts and offline maps for bonus subscribers and google maps for all sailboat racers to view boat position relative to the next tag. The display shows the current boat position, bearing, and the target tag. An overlaid compass shows the bearing. In addition the layline is shown. Chart and map info is accessible in the settings. In addition to VMC (VMG to course), Sailware calculates and informs sailboat racers whether the sailboat is on the shortest leg to the tag. This feature can be especially helpful when the next tag is far away or not visible. A bonus subscription supports advanced post race/regatta analysis such as programs to review the tacking angles, a color coded "heat" track that visually represents boat speed during the race, and the ability to filter out pre and post race maneuvers. Knowing what tacking angles your sailboat or yacht is capable of in different conditions can assist sailboat racers better select when to tack in order to create the tag. With a bonus subscription sailboat racers can receive a better idea of their yacht's typical tacking angles in different conditions. Wear OS watch help is also accessible with a bonus subscription. Once the race is set up on the smartphone, sailboat racers can manage the entire race from a Wear OS watch. Just place the smartphone somewhere secure nearby with awesome GPS reception and the watch apk can give sailboat racers the most critical info about their progress toward the next tag. Even the begin timer can be started, stopped, and adjusted from the watch once it has been initially set up on the smartphone. If you have a larger yacht, give the watch to a squad member and hold the smartphone in the cockpit so that key tactical info is more accessible to everyone in the racing squad.
