Excellent for dinghy racing. When the countdown has finished it switches to speed and heading, heel can be turned off. Countdown would be better with a horn/alarm. Countdown can have speech which is good for 2 man dinghies, but then constantly talks speed which is annoying, we can read the big numbers while concentrating on going fast.

The only thing missing is speed in miles per hour (mph). Strangely, speed limits on some UK rivers are in mph - don't ask me why! 🙄

Love the app, I'm mostly using the in truments. Would it be possible to display the history of the heading, similar to the speed? This would allow for detecting wind shifts, even if they are somewhat delayed.

Used to be great. Now useless. In night mode, big intrusive ad right in field of vision. Probably need to pay (?) to remove that. Anchor alarm has no way of stopping the sound. Force-close works, but then restarting sound is immediately on (GN 10 lite)
