Used this free app on my phone to check speed/direction/map routing this past Monday when we took out our C-20. Winds were 8-15mph. We did anywhere from 4-6.2mph (3.5-5.4 knots) and traveled 13.2 miles. Has anyone else used these apps and been able to check/confirm accuracy. Should be accurate from GPS and seemed about right. It's also got a cool anchorage warning to warn if you've drifted a preset distance from your anchorage. Maybe I'm the last to find out about these apps, if not, check them out!

I checked 'Beer Can Racer ' against my handheld Garmin eTrex to good results..the other apps I've tried are 'NutiCharts' and 'MxMariner' - I think one of those was free...

I have used Motion_X on the iPad and it works fine. I think it is a two dollar app.

I used "Map my Run" last week

It's a free app

My daughter is runnin a half marathon tomorrow and we are "friends" on the app. Pam an I were sailing an Cass was able to live track us on the water. Haven't played with it a lot, Cass had to exit the app to refresh the screen, but it showed our track and average speed. We saw our position on the lake and our speed. We hope to follow her during her run and know when she is gonna finnish... Let ya how it goes...

Wonder if there is a map my sail? Whats cool is being able to see the whole sail and upload to google earth also...

Another handy one for speed, position and compass is Saildroid.
