VMG display, app ?

   Part of the reason that I wrote the watch app was to have the information I want on my wrist  rather than messing with a phone or a hand held GPS..

I did use my iPhone for a while before switching to a watch.

There are a number of apps for the iPhone that do some of what Sail2WIN now does.

I used iRegatta for a while. I generally liked it and got some of what I was looking for.

It’s inexpensive and the user’s guide is online so you can take a good look at what it does before taking it on the water.

Best of luck.

	I'm finding it hard to discover how much the app costs?

	It was a one time charge of $20 for the “pro” version when I was using it. The free version has some useful features and at that time you could pay around $5 each to add features that you wanted to use. In he App Store, scroll down to “In App Purchases” and there’s a list of add-on features & their cost. I see that the basic app costs $9.99

	Sorry I'm referring to Sail2Win, my post must have crossed with your previous one (took me a while to complete it as I was trying to get it to download. I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to download it now...

	Ahhh. Sail2WIN is $35/yr. Sorry about mixing up who I was responding to. The price is near the bottom description on the App Store. Here's that link again. There’s a free trial period that I’m happy to extend to 60 days given we’re in the middle of winter. During the trial period the app is fully functional. No restrictions, so you can really get to know what it provides and how it will help your sailing before deciding if you want to subscribe. If you have a Garmin watch that will run it, you can download it to your watch using the Garmin App Store and then sync your watch using Garmin Connect or Garmin Express. Not all Garmin watches will run Sail2WIN, so check the “Compatible Devices” tab on the App Store page for Sail2WIN to see if your watch will run it. If not the App Store probably won’t allow you to attempt to download it. Do you have a Garmin watch and if so, which model ? Jeff p.s. Very strange formatting going on with these posts. Is there some solution to that ?? Edited by JeffStineSailing - 27 Dec 21 at 10:11pm
