Ratings and reviews

Basic, but very useful. The waypoints feature works really well. The display, with the speed / course and the distance to the next waypoint all on one screen is useful and easy to read. MOB and anchor alarm functions would be most welcome. Routes and tracks would be nice, may be for the pro version?

Perfect. Perfect backup too. Gives you the basics and presents them clearly. The course you want, the course you're actually travelling, the speed over the ground and how far to go. I would add, just to be picky, that the term bearing (i.e. to the mark) would be less confusing than course in this context. Just my opinion.

Would be nice to have a way to add waypoints by placing them on the map. If that's not possible, "Share to.." from the Google maps, pasting lat/lon from the clipboard - any way will do instead of typing the coordinates one by one.

What's new

Improved compatibility with newer devices, improved waypoint import/export.
