Great questions. As an additional thought, is there a way we can monitor
our boat's power at the marina? We have had some issues with the main
breaker being kicked off, and therefore heater is off.
There is wifi at the dock, so we were wondering if there is an app that
would notify us if the power went out. Any ideas?
All the best for the New Year Everyone.

Hi All
Smart watches have become increasingly popular and tend to slave themselves
to a smart phone and also have wifi. I have always thought that it would
be nice to have a great sailing app running on a smart phone stashed below
with the watch as a repeater. Large digits showing GPS speed, Heading
Bearing, distance to waypoint, etc… Also be nice to have a nice GPS app
when hiking in the woods, etc .. that acts like a marine GPS or
chartplotter showing tracks, distance travelled and the like. What I have
been able to find so far is trying to be more like Google Maps or a car
style GPS than like either of these. A final very nice option would be the
ability to use the wifi capability of the boat’s instruments to set up the
watch as a repeater for speed over water, wind speed, direction, depth etc ….
Persistence has Raymarine i50/60 SDW instruments as well as a Raymarine A65
chartplotter all networked together. Watch is Samsung Galaxy watch (42mm),
phone is Samsung S7 (Android). Also interested in Apple watch apps since
there are likely more of them
Thanks and looking forward to an interesting discussion
