BoatSpeed provides a simple display of speed and heading.
* It also shows lattitude, longitude, max speed and current time.
* Every effort has been made to optimise speed reporting at low speeds (<10 knots), when there can be many seconds between changes in reported location from the inbuilt GPS.
* Background colour can be toggled between daytime (black on yellow) and night time (black on red). Tap on “Day or Night” to change it.
* Background colour is initially set based on current time and last known location.
* Tap on the “Units” to rotate through KN, MPH and KPH.
* Max speed is displayed in current units. Tap on the max speed to reset it to zero.
* Boatspeed requires IOS 8 and a minimum iPhone 4S.
Latest reviews of BoatSpeed app for iPhone and iPad
Clear, uncluttered screen. Speed fluctuates significantly! Would be useful if speed could be averaged (current weighted average) in order to minimize fluctuations.
Complete garbage. Speed fluctuates wildly and is meaningless. Zero stars!
Works exactly as described.
Works great for my sailboat! Knowing your speed helps you sail better, especially in light winds.
