  INTERNATIONALIZATION The new version comes with internationalization. Boatspeed in now available in more than 40 languages, most of them machine translated. This is still an experimental feature, and we can't check the quality of the translations. If you are not satisfied or prefere english for some reasons you can still switch back to english. To do so find a switch in the  settings  dialog: (5) Always use english. This switch is only shown when english is not your default language. BUGFIXES Bugfixes for navigation and anchor alert.

The new version gets more out of your tacks. You now have different views of your tracks available and you can understand your travel history more precisely. In addition, labels for the waypoints can be created and important locations such as harbors or anchorages highlighted. There is another improvement in the regatta module. During the countdown, tapping the display causes the displayed time to jump to the next full minute. You can easily synchronize your countdown with the competition management. Get it at :
