Anyone else frustrated with hard-coded sailing analysis tools? Testing a new approach – looking for group sail GPS data
Every sailing analysis tool I've tried shows the same fixed charts no matter what's in your session, you're stuck with whatever the developer decided to build. I've been working on something where the maps and plots get generated based on the actual data rather than being fixed upfront. Still early but wanted to share and hear what others think.
What I really want to test is comparing boats from the same session. Do you guys do that at all, or is it mostly a racing thing? How do you currently look at your performance relative to friends?
If anyone has GPS tracks from a group sail or race - yours plus one or more friends - I'd love to try it out. Any format works (GPX, FIT, CSV, whatever your device spits out), and if you have extra sensor data like wind or heel angle that's a bonus. Happy to share back whatever comes out of it. Short video attached showing it on a single session.
