I had noticed that the sailing software for Smartwatches seems to be paired with watches provided by the same vendor. I did find an app called Ocean Sailor but it doesn’t seem to be that useful. It is more like google maps.
I think I will uninstall Ocean Sailor and try some of the other GPS apps in the Samsung Store. None of them really seem to be that great Mike Persistence Halifax, NS From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Pete Shelquist via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2018 1:46 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Pete Shelquist Subject: Re: Stus-List Question for Fred and others - Smart Watch apps & connectivity RaceQs runs on the Garmin Vivoactive, but it appears they are moving over to Apple Watch Or you can go with something preloaded from garmin. At first blush is appears the sailing apps are similar, but Quatix definitely has more and it’s currently on sale : https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/580642 From: CnC-List <cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com> On Behalf Of Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2018 11:20 AM To: CnClist <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Dennis C. <capt...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List Question for Fred and others - Smart Watch apps & connectivity http://raceqs.com/smart-watch/ Dennis C.

I have always thought that it would be nice to have a great sailing app running on a smart phone stashed below with the watch as a repeater. Large digits showing GPS speed, Heading Bearing, distance to waypoint, etc… Also be nice to have a nice GPS app when hiking in the woods, etc .. that acts like a marine GPS or chartplotter showing tracks, distance travelled and the like. What I have been able to find so far is trying to be more like Google Maps or a car style GPS than like either of these. A final very nice option would be the ability to use the wifi capability of the boat’s instruments to set up the watch as a repeater for speed over water, wind speed, direction, depth etc …. Persistence has Raymarine i50/60 SDW instruments as well as a Raymarine A65 chartplotter all networked together. Watch is Samsung Galaxy watch (42mm), phone is Samsung S7 (Android). Also interested in Apple watch apps since there are likely more of them Thanks and looking forward to an interesting discussion Mike Persistence Halifax, NS _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
