Title: New performance/tracking/crew scheduler app (Android and iOS) - RaceQs
Post by: Veljko on January 02, 2014, 11:39:21 AM
We've been using iRegatta (http://www.letscreate.dk/letscreate/?q=node/279) for some time but there's a new entrant in the field: RaceQs (http://raceqs.com/home/). We will be running both in the Icicle series.

If others sign up we can compare performance.

Sample output from RaceQs (http://raceqs.com/members/mitulica/activity/).

Cool.  If I get time I will get the app.

The app has 2 uses: live start line countdown and performance, or, capturing boat data during a race. It also captures all the boat motion's using the sensors inside your phone. I used it in latter mode (since we have iRegatta for starts and performance), and created this replay of our boat in Icicle Race I (http://raceqs.com/tv.htm#user_id=8365&video_offset=&track=9a3d58ce-0530-40c7-ac12-fdc6ff381d97&start=2014-01-04%2012:01:32.093%20-06:00&finish=2014-01-04%2013:29:46.317%20-06:00&boat=NoName). I haven't yet figured out how to show other boats in the same regatta.

I figured out how to use it but did not turn it on.  Will do that next week.  I have iNaX on Stinger and have been making tracks from that.  Gets kind of boring after a while.

Very nice display.  Could not figure out how to zoom out but other then that display was neat.

Common GBCA racers, get RaceQs for your phone (http://raceqs.com/home/3d-race-replay/), run it during the race with the phone flat on a chart table, and we'll have a fleet view.

Some of us are just excellent ballast.  I resemble that remark.

Heck of a 4th/5th place finish. Continuing thread here. (http://discussion.gbca.org/index.php?topic=1445.msg8805#msg8805)
