RowingCAS

RowingCAS is a GPS-based Collision Avoidance System for boats. It warns about dangerous approaches with other boats equipped with the same or a compatible system. While it is primarily designed for rowing, it's also perfectly suitable for sailing, small motor boats and yachts as long as a mobile data connection is available.The screen shows up to five of the closest boats as little triangles. If a dangerous approach is detected, the triangle changes color and an alarm tone sounds.Press the TEST button to see and hear an alarm indication.The algorithm is carefully designed to warn only if a collision risk actually exists.RowingCAS is currently free. We do however plan to introduce a moderate fee in the future.Please press the HELP button or see the Manual for more information:http://www.kisstech.ch/rowingcas/doc.shtmlRowingCAS has been tested on phones, tablets and smartwatches. It uses the GPS, the compass and requires a mobile data connection. The mobile data amounts are very low so that it is perfectly reasonable to use it evenwhile roaming.Image credits: http://kisstech.ch/kiss/about.shtml#credits
