The New Velocitek is HERE. These are now available for Pre-Order for $599 and will ship late this week or early next and will ship you for free. These are awesome and do all the things we need them to do. They will sell fast so order yours now.Thought it was to be released early October?
They had the right idea, the execution wasnt the best though. If the buttons on it worked I would have been more than happy. Just need to find a decent case and figure out how to put proper tactil buttons on it somewhereDear Velocitek, please credit me for my POS SC1 towards the purchase of the ProStart. Thanks.
The position accuracy depends on the time that has elapsed since you pinged the ends of the line. In a typical scenario, when you ping the ends of the line immediately before the beginning of the start sequence you can expect the accuracy to be about +/- 1.5m.Looks interesting. What is the margin of error for this device? Can you enter a calibration offset so that you can measure the distance to the line from the bow and not the device?
If your boat is level when you do the pinging...The position accuracy depends on the time that has elapsed since you pinged the ends of the line.

Question to Velocitec: Have you enabled SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, ...) ? That would improve absolute accuracy, but could give 'interesting' results if the boat is heeling and the (geostationary at 0 lat) SBAS satellite is going in and out of view...
Probably not a big issue as long as your latitude is smaller than your heel angle. ;-)
Question for the rules guys; may I carry a 'GPS repeater' on my boat and use it to jam my competitors Velocitec? Put my repeater receive antenna on the stern so he gets an offset and I 'push' him over the line?
Fun times...
