[quote=MN3]i used motion x-gps for years and tried others
i liked it best - i only used it to see my top speed (not all that accurate) and the track we took for that date
kind neat to look at but really - just useless info
IMHO - beachcats and iphones don't mix all that well
using one to read or drop waypoints while underway is very hard to do.
the screen isn't good with sunglasses in the sun, they are not waterproof, nor float, dry cases make it much harder for the touch screen to work, and using gps on your phone kills your battery like no other app. save your battery for important things like bluetooth music, or maybe even calling for help when in real trouble.
the slowest point of sail" is when your eyes are pointed at something besides your sailing
I would strongly suggest you save your phone and go buy a marine gps - they are not all that expensive and will track waypoints easier, upgradable and have accurate charts available<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Jun 22, 2017 - 09:38 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
