Features & Capabilities

SailFreeGPS is a comprehensive navigation app designed for sailors and boaters who want to bring their own navigation instrument on their smartphone or tablet. It offers real-time data including current location, course over ground (COG), speed over ground (SOG), max speed, trip distance, and a magnetic compass. Ideal for both sail and motor boats, it enhances navigation with GPS data filtering for accuracy and displays detailed COG and SOG history to help optimize sailing trim.

The app provides critical features such as Man Overboard (MOB) assistance by marking the location and navigating back to it, a detailed track displayed on Google Maps, and waypoint management with up to 200 waypoints in the premium version. Additional functionalities include anchor and course alarms, regatta countdown timer with departure line displays, and the ability to save and load tracks in GPX/KML formats. The premium upgrade enriches the experience with ad-free usage, advanced graphs, and customizable settings, making it a robust tool for sailors seeking enhanced navigation and safety at sea.
