Viva all SOLers.
Thank you zappe and all hands on this brilliant project. Only problem I've found is to put a "-" (negative sign) on TWA inside delayed commands. The graphic scale (moving circle) for advancing the WF is a bit … fast. A numeric step defined by the user would be better (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hr, and so on till 6 hrs). Keep on! O.S.: Android 4.1.2 Fair winds to all. |

OK. There is a new verison out now 0.30
Changes in this version: Fixed problem with - sign in the edit add dc Fixed Wind arrow size in low winds. Should be possible to see the direction now. Added a new page for the Hmm Sol log. Only shows rank, rank diff, dtl diff and dtf diff right now. Added wind contour lines to the map. This can be pretty cpu heavy and it is still a bit experimental so it is disabled by default. Added a new settings page. Allows you to change map type, enable wind contours, change wind arrow and contour density. --- Last Edited by zappe at 2014-10-25 20:43:01 --- |

I didn't try version 2, but I am very happy to report that Version 3 works on my Samsung Tab 10.1 running on android 4.0.4.
And improvements are very good - thank you zappe for all your efforts |

I don't think I would want to do the Northwest Passage race via my Samsung Galaxy 4 Mini, but this is sweet. Thanks!

Great work fixing the bug in delayed commands, and improving the presentation for low winds. Good developments too in other areas. It is becoming my main interface to the simulation. I just need to add a routing algorithm!
Just wondering if the overlay used by sailonline for coasts (ie the often straight line approximation to fractal like coasts) is now missing from the maps? I am pretty sure it was there in .25 when I did the NZ Coastal classic as I ended up on the beach! but I can't see it now in .30 eg in RTW around Fernando de Noronha? I could be wrong, maybe it is in one of the other overlays now available in settings, but I couldn't find it? What IDE are you using to code btw? ADT/Android Studio or one of the many unsupported environments, also Java or another language? Are you using GIT to manage revisions?

There appears to be a bug (or a feature..) that the client only loads the coast lines near your boat.
If you choose map type "None" from the settings, this is quite apparent, unless you happen to be middle of the ocean when there might not be any coast lines near you. For the shorter races where you are not out in the ocean, the maps work fine. |

About the sol coast line... As Hmm pointed out the app is only loading the map tile you are on and 2 tiles in every direction and since the maptiles are 1deg in lat and long you can "see" 2.5deg around you if you are in the middle of your tile. This is a "feature" or at least by design because painting a lot of polylines makes zooming and panning very slow. Actually it is not certain that all the polylines for all the loaded tiles will be drawn either, there is a limit of 500 map polylines. So the map tiles will be prioritised based on your heading and the distance to your boat and then drawn in that order until 500 polylines has been drawn. This will become apparent when we race through a dense archipelago the next time and different polylines will be drawn if you change course.
This is done to keep the map responsive but it might be a good idea to have the number of tiles loaded and the max number of poylines to draw as a setting in the future, even if it is a pretty advanced setting. Yes I am using git, ADT and Java to develop this so it is more or less vanilla flavour Android development, as far as I know  |

Nice app zAPPe. I just got it up and running and made my first heading change with it. This is going to be very useful in helping me be on deck more.
Ideas for future things to include/tweak. The boat polar that comes up with the star looking button is small and can't be zoomed. Minor issue as it's visually ok, just small. Also, isochrones, and VMG/VMC headings would be nice to have in the future. Especially the isohrones as they give a nice visual too. |

Marstrand to Cowes 2025
We invite you to another race, which will kick off the third quarter of our ARCH series. We'll set off from Marstrand, Sweden, which, along with Skagen, Denmark, marks the line commonly recognised as the border separating the Baltic Sea from the North Sea. The 650nm route will take our Ripitide 50 across the North Sea and the English Channel to Cowes, England. Watch out for the fast ferries crossing the Channel from Calais to Dover 😊.

Nantucket Sprint 2025
Welcome to Nantucket, from whence Herman Melville’s Cap’n Ahab sailed round The Horn into the northern Pacific Ocean to hunt the gray whale - whose migrations are celebrated elsewhere in SOL’s Q4 schedule - he never to return. And whaling too, as the 19th C progressed, like Ahab disappeared from Nantucket as the harbour silted up and mainland Massachusetts whaling stations benefited from rail connections. But beach life, yachting and nostalgia has rescued the island from oblivion, so to celebrate leisure, SOL gives you the Nantucket Sprint - 25nm in 29er_XX’s from east of Tuckernuck Island across the sound to a finish just inside the mouth of the harbour. Enjoy!

Nearly there; only 2500nm to go, round the Horn and up the Red Sea to Suez into what will more than likely be more headwinds for this sixth leg of our African circumnavigation, to be followed in September by a final sneaky dash up the canal back to where we started all those months ago. We’ll be sailing a not entirely appropriate-for-upwind-work 60ft Trimaran!

Welcome to the legendary "Westcoaster," a race that has tested sailors for over 50 years. Spanning 435 nautical miles, this iconic journey takes racers from Melbourne, across the formidable Bass Strait, and around Tasmania's rugged west coast to the finish line in Hobart. Organized by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria, the Westcoaster is renowned for its challenging conditions and adventurous spirit. This year, our SOLers will tackle the course in the swift and capable First 47.7, a yacht launched by Beneteau in 2000, built for speed and endurance in long ocean races. Get ready for an exhilarating ride in one of Australia’s most celebrated yacht races!

Aland Sea TIMED Race
Norrtalje Segelsallskap, 70km NE of Stockholm was founded in 1920, and time was when the society’s season opened with a challenging offshore race from the club line off Flaten island at the mouth of the long and narrow Norrtaljeviken, out onto a triangular course around the Aland Sea, to finish at Simpnas slightly to the north on Bjorko island - some 78nm in total. A fine race that SOL, being from these parts, ran annually up until 2013. Last run in autumn 2018, we return here to race the course again in the form a TIMED RUN in spanking new Club Swan 50s.
