Descrição

Always know where home is. Kuling is a kite, wing and windsurf tracker for Garmin watches, built around safety. Your watch always shows the way home and when you must be back. THE WAY HOME, ALWAYS • A fixed line at the bottom of every screen shows an arrow to your start point and the distance home • Rig somewhere other than where you enter the water? Move home on the GPS wait screen LAST SAFE TIME • A clock time for the latest moment to head home: sunset, minus the time it takes you to get home, minus a margin. By default Kuling assumes 4 kn on the way home and keeps a 30 minute margin, and you can change both • The time moves as you move. It turns red when 30 minutes or less are left, and stays red after it has passed • Sunset is worked out on the watch, so it works without the phone DRIFT WARNING • If you move slower than 2 kn for more than 60 seconds while the distance to home grows by more than 30 metres, the watch gives a double vibration and a red band on every screen. The vibration repeats every 30 seconds while the warning stands OFFSHORE WIND WARNING • When the wind forecast says the wind blows from the home side out towards you, within 45 degrees of the direction home, and you are at least 100 metres from home, the watch shows a red band and gives one long vibration • The red band also shows on the locked screen, so a locked watch still tells you THE WIND IS A FORECAST • The wind forecast for your area, about 5 x 5 km, is shown on the watch and labelled FCST. It comes through your phone • Your exact position stays on the watch. Only the grid cell of about 5 x 5 km is used for the lookup, and you can switch the wind forecast off in the settings YOUR SESSION IN NUMBERS • Speed and top speed in knots, m/s or km/h • Speed-sailing numbers: 2 s max, best 10 s, 5x10, best 500 m and 250 m, and alpha 500, based on the published GP3S speed-sailing rules • Planing %: the share of your active time above a planing speed you set, 10 kn by default. It is Kuling's own figure, made for following your own progress • Turns, jibes and tacks, split by the forecast wind direction and marked FCST • Gear log: pick your board and your rig (sail, wing or kite) before you start, or skip it • Saved to Garmin Connect as a normal GPS activity, with the numbers, gear and distance home over time added AIDS, NOT A GUARANTEE The safety functions are aids. They do not replace your own judgement. • Check the conditions and the forecast yourself, sail within your abilities and tell someone where you are • Warnings that depend on your position need a fresh GPS fix • Local wind can differ from the forecast, for example sea breeze or shelter behind dunes FOR YOUR WATCH Kuling runs on Garmin Forerunner, fenix, epix, tactix, quatix, Enduro, MARQ, Descent, Instinct and D2 watches. The full list of models is under Compatible Devices on this page. TRY IT FREE Download Kuling for free.
