[Rhodes22-list] Speed App

[Graham Stewart]

I agree with Lee that BoatSpeed is a great app - especially if you are using
it on a cell phone. 

Another app that  I like that is virtually free (10/year for the premium
version) is SailFreeGps. It is a very complete navigation program but with
large and very legible characters. It is best used with a tablet. All the
other navigation programs that I have tried are expensive given the
miniscule amount of "navigation" I actually engage in.

I use both apps.

There are lots of sailboat speed apps out there, but the attached free app
shows your speed in decimals in numbers large enough that you can see from
the far end of your galley's counter top while you're at the helm.  The app
is called BoatSpeed.

It also shows your heading but Stan is busy installing a compass on my "new"
boat so I feel like a real sailor.
