A talking compass in Basic Mode. Your new favorite tactician in Tactical Mode.
Basic computes nothing at all, so it stays on the right side of class rules that restrict tactical compasses. Check yours — and turn your volume up.
Step 1 · Choose what it tells you
Step 2 · Take a reading
Do this in the last few minutes before the start. Sail a minute on starboard, tack, sail a minute on port. Each leg opens with a 10-second warm-up that records nothing, so getting up to speed and the tack itself don't contaminate the average.
Spoken headings
An audio compass. It calls your heading — "heading zero four five" — every time it moves 5° from the last heading it said out loud. Damped like a real compass card, so wandering in a seaway won't set it off.
