Waypoint intervals

[nmccusker]

Hello,

I wanted to see if there’s a way to change the intervals for way points. Right now it looks like they’re reporting every five minutes and I was hoping to change that to every minute. As we’ve been racing in the harbor, it seems to be missing some of our tacks back-and-forth.

Thanks

Hi, thank you for the question. Reporting interval is dynamic and adjusted automatically by the speed of the boat. At lower speeds, interval is 5 minutes but it can ramp up automatically if the boat speeds up. What speeds are you racing at?

@admin thanks. We’ve been going anywhere between two and 6 kn depending on the tack. Looking at our sale today, Our tracking software on the boat logged 5.5 Nautical miles in total but saillogger only logged 4 miles.

I presume it is due to missing some of the tacks and gybes, which adds to the distance but not captured by Saillogger, is that the case? How does your Saillogger track compare to the track that logged 5.5 miles? If you could share a screenshot of that, it would be helpful.

Yeah, I think that's what it is. Here are some screenshots.

Thanks for sharing. We just deployed a change to automatically adjust sampling interval if the boat is making quick turns like tacking or gybing.

You do not need to take any action, this should be reflected in your next trip automatically. Hope it helps to improve your experience while logging short distance races!

Awesome thanks
