Display Projected Position
It would be insanely wonderful if you included a place in the settings to enter boat speed and direction. Then you could display, in addition to current position, the projected position of the boat at the time of the forecast, possibly with a line connecting it to previous positions and the current position.
That way, you could see the conditions, say, 36-hours from now, not at your current position, but at the position you expect to be.
I spent a great deal of time working out where I would be after a given time and transferring it to the iPad screen. I started using little stickies punched out of the sticky margin of a Post-It. Then when I didn't like the conditions, I recalculated my predicted position for a slightly different course and reapplied the sticky.
Since boats at sea travel in a straight line, at least until the next course change, it would be very helpful to show the position predicted based upon the speed of the boat and the heading.
How can I refuse a suggestion that would be ‘insanely wonderful’ !
I’ve just submitted version 2.2.2 to Apple for approval so this won’t be part of that – but I’ll add it for the next version.
