VRTool Sidekick
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
VRTool SideKick (VSK) application combines a Sailing Calculator and GPS Logger. It transforms your GPS enabled iphone in a powerful sail boat racing tool.
VSK is useful enough alone, but it is designed to work in concert with VRTool desktop software. While sailing, use VSK to monitor your current sail performance. For that VSK uses the device GPS, the current wind conditions and the polar curves of your boat. It shows the current polar line, TWA, sail efficiency, best course to destination, great circle distance and course.
It also operates as a Data Logger, saving boat positions and other sail variables periodically. The points can later be uploaded to VRTool desktop for further analysis and documentation of your sailing. VRTool desktop allows track planning, weather routing optimization using NOAA wind forecasts, chart visualization with winds, marks, tracks and leg calculator.
