SailTimer is another new app for sailors using iPhone and iPod touch. Standard GPS's from all manufacturers do not account for the fact that sailboats zig-zag, when giving you the ETA. On some GPS chartplotters, the ETA actually goes blank when you stay on a tack for too long.
SailTimer solves this problem, showing you the optimal tacking angles, and the Tacking Time to Destination.
The SailTimer functions are also available with the full navigation and charting capabilities in MacENC (and for PCs using SailCruiser from NavSim.com). And now you can also Go To waypoints using Google Maps with SailTimer on your iPhone or iPod.
