- Set the 'Show last app' setting within display settings to the maximum value so that when you lift your arm from the tiller during race start, you will get the start time straight away.
- If your phone is not going to be in a position with full GPS signal on the boat, it is recommended that bluetooth is off so that the watches bluetooth is utilised.
- Regatta Racer is not a replacement for standard navigation equipment - standard nautical navigation equipment for your vessel should be carried at all times.
