SailFreeGPS App DESCRIPTION

Hello,

SailFreeGPS displays current location, course (COG), speed (SOG), max speed, Trip distance, speed average and magnetic compass.
SailFreeGPS displays COG and SOG history (6h) to help you to see trim effect on your sails.
✓ SailFreeGPS filters GPS information for more accuracy (average of an amount of last measures you can set).
✓ SailFreeGPS can share your position, COG, SOG to your friends.
✓ SailFreeGPS helps you during Man OverBoard maneuver (MOB). It stores the location and lead you to it.
✓ SailFreeGPS displays your track on google map (24h).
✓ SailFreeGPS helps you during Regatta with its countdown timer and its departure line

✓ You can save/load track to/from GPX/KML file
✓ You can calculate distance and heading
✓ You can use it on every boat, motor or sail boat.
✓ You can now activate an anchor alarm or a course alarm.

I am an amateur sailor who has decided to create this app after a Transatlantic cruise.
I add periodically functionalities to this app when I have some spare time.

Surveying and navigation using Points, Paths and Areas (KML, GPX, CSV exports)
Multi-purpose mapping and surveying tool for both professional and personal use. The tool is valuable in several professional land-based surveying activities, including agriculture, forest management, infrastructure maintenance (e.g. roads and electrical networks), urban planning & real estate and emergencies mapping. It is also used for personal outdoor activities, such as hiking, running, walking, travelling and geocaching.The application collects Points (such as points of interest) and Paths (sequence of points) to perform mapping and surveying activities. The Points, that are acquired with accuracy information, can be classified by the user with specific tags or characterized with photos. The Paths are created as a temporal sequence of newly acquired Points (e.g. to record a track) or alternatively with existing Points (e.g to create a route). Paths allows to measure distances and, if closed, forms Polygons that allows the determination of areas and perimeters. Both Points and Paths can be exported to a KML, GPX and CSV file and thus be processed externally with a geospatial tool.The application uses the internal GPS receiver from the mobile device (typically with accuracies >3m) or, alternatively,..

App REVIEWS

Joe

Good features but could use some improvements on UX. The ability to use user uploaded charts for local area would be nice. Tried many times to subscribe with no success.

Mark

Makes no sense to me. Unusable. This app seems to have a lot of features and might work great for some people but the UX is totally beyond me. I go to Routes. It says "no route selected". But there's no way to add a route. I'm racing offshore courses with a preset route that I'd like the app to load after the 5 min start sequence. It can't seem to do that. In back to using SailDroid and entering the waypoints manually each time I arrive at one.
----------
Hi You can create route from map tab Fred

JHS

Totally agree with Erik Stielow - lots of nice features but it needs a start/stop button. Been suggesting that for months and get nothing but pushback from the developer. Still no start/stop sail button. The most logical thing this app could have and it doesn't have it. Today I went for sail, opened the app, sailed around for a couple hours & closed the app. Nothing is saved - trip is gone. It didn't even tell me that it wasn't going to save it. Lame.

Nelzkie

it is very useful to navigate the sea.

John

I really like this app, and it ticks all the boxes for navigation etc.; unfortunately it has twice shut down suddenly saying my Samsung S2 tablet (Android 7) has "overheated".

Dev

Excellent application dedicated to sailing navigation, and it definitely deserves a positive rating! I was satisfied with its specialized features and reliable performance. SailFreeGPS runs smoothly even on older devices. I tested the app on an older Android phone and experienced no performance issues or delays. "Plus" compared to paid and "high-profile" applications: Developer availability Compatibility with older Android versions Comprehensive features even in the free version
----------
Can you send me your KML file? Fix will be available in 4.0.1 version coming soon...

Marcel

This app is very useful and accurate. I use this app to plot the coordinates on the paper charts without looking at the ship's gps. Accurate results.

Eugene

I really like this apps, it help me navigate at sea easily.

Davenwol

GPS constantly drops out after last update now this app is useless and I bought the paid version. Edit.... Android 11 seems to have fixed this so back up to 4 stars. 5 stars if it had a pause option and a timer for the duration of session. And once again after another forced update this app has let me down again by freezing up and not recording my stats. Please stop messing with this developer. Seems you're more interested in collecting data than having a decent app
----------
I presume your new android version is killing the app. Add SailFreeGPS in the list of the app not optimized in your battery settings. Fred Can you contact me on sailfreegps@gmail.com

Marc

I very much appreciate the information that this application reports however I was disappointed that the paid version did not actually save all of this relevant information. Specifically the map view and the screen showing the top speed average speed etc would be very helpful if it would be saved and could be open later..
----------
Hello, You can save your track in a file and load it again later... and you can also make screenshot of you speed records !!!

Erik

Had lots of features... But stopping and starting a sail is not one. It solid be great to be able to start and stop a recording and just analyze that period of time rather than the continuous recording.

David

Excellent app. I don't understand the anchor alarm though. I set it overnight with a small area. No alarm when I drifted out of the circle. Also don't understand how to save tracks. Seems to want to export a file rather than sa e to my tablet.
----------
Hello, Anchor alarm will be played if you stay out of the authorized area more than 15 seconds. Disk icon will first save your track on your device and then propose you to share it. You can contact me at sailfreegps@gmail.com Fred

Peter

Tried to use at sea, where else, dialog box requested update now, so could't use, not available offshore, major fault, s/b able to upddate later. Fair comment, but network distantly avaiable only over GPRS. Thanks
----------
FailFreeGPS force update when stability is compromised. And if SailFreeGPS detects an update is needed, that means network is available.

Otto

Very good app. May I suggest that you consider adding the ability to read a NMEA stream over WiFi (tcp or udp), and use that for the input instead of the phone / tablet's sensors?
----------
May be later on

Sunny

If you turn your phone sideways it goes to Africa every time. The people who made this program must be from Africa. The way when she put in don't erase when and say that it's full that makes it difficult to use this program
----------
Hey, !!! Unfortunatly, I am not from Africa :-) The zoom and focus of he map should be almost the same after a rotation. did you wait for GPS reception ? Fred

Paul

I'm still learning the app, but so far I've been very impressed! I wish some power users would create an instructional YouTube. I still haven't figured out how to set a course with multiple waypoints.

Paul

Excellent app. Clear display with all the info you could need, including mob marker. Could even use it as a primary GPS if everything else failed.

Guest

This is the perfect quick sailing instruments app... it would be helpfull if there were a few more waypoints available, and if the history of the last trip were stored...

Guest

Just got the update with adding more waypoints. FredB, you are doing awesome work. When you get a pay release, I will definitely pay. I normally don't do paid apps but yours is exactly what I want. Keep up keeping up!

Guest

Nice big display of speed and course. A suggestion: leave off the GPS coordinates position window (put it in the menu) to give more room to display even bigger speed and course.
