iRegatta is a tactical Regatta application for android devices, used for
yachting and sailing regattas.

The build-in GPS unit and the unique graphical possibilities of these devices,
make them ideal for such an application.

IMPORTANT: iRegatta requires internal GPS or Bluetooth/WiFi connection to NMEA
data, to get the sailing data required for calculations.

We have been testing with the DMK box from dmkyacht.com and weatherdocks
products (easyais.de).

iRegatta has been available for iPhone/iPad for years, and has a lot of useful
features.

Now the Android version has similar features, except that NMEA instrument data
also can be used using a BlueTooth connection (or a Wifi connection).

If you have a Android phone anyway, this is a cheap way to introduce you to
the benefits of a GPS device, to help you leverage your regatta sailing
performance.

A downside is of cause the fact that most phones are not waterproof! But there
are products out there, you can put your device into, to make it waterproof
and still be able to operate it while sailing. In this way you can either
mount it near your other instruments on your keelboat or strap it to your arm
if you are sailing a dinghy.

Features:

Main View.

Here you can see your 4 most important readouts, fore instance Heading, Speed,
VMG and Wind Direction.

By tapping and holding one of the 4 main readouts for 2 seconds, they become
configurable. Scroll down the list to chose the information you want to
display. Many of the possible readouts are only updated if you have NMEA
input.

If navigating towards a waypoint, you can configure your readouts to display
distance/bearing.

There also is a lift indicator, showing you if you have been lifted by a wind
shift, and graphs showing the development in your speed and VMG over a
configurable amount of time and a permormance bar.

Wind direction.

Set your wind direction by storing your heading while sailing on upwind on
starboard and port tack, or simply type it in.

Start view.

Here you have your count down (including sync), and you can mark your starting
line and iRegatta will calculate the distance to the line and indicate the
favorite line end, if wind direction is set.

Waypoints.

Navigate to your favorite pre-stored waypoints, create a route of waypoints or
create a new temporary waypoint by distance/bearing.

Statistics view.

Here you can see your location, Max speed and Trip odometer. On the left hand
side there is a polar diagram. tap it and it'll increase in size. Change the
wind speed to see the different polars. These polars are the base for the
performance bar in the race view.


NMEA

If you choose to turn on "NMEA input via BlueTooth" in the iRegatta setting,
you will be able to receive instrument informations from your boat, if it's
able to transmit NMEA information using BlueTooth.

Be aware that many instrument informations can bee transmitted in different
NMEA syntax. Not all NMEA syntaxes are implemented in iRegatta.

AIS

If you have an AIS receiver that transmits AIS data as NMEA sentences, an AIS
radar will show all vessel information received.
