All-in-one multi-constellation GPS receiver digital speedo compass
The NS-START.Pro delivers precise and reliable heading information to help you tack and jibe at the most suitable times.
The user settings let you decide the required sensitivity (High / Medium / Low) based on your boat, style, and the current weather conditions.
Waypoints
The PC Novasail Wireless Manager software combined with the ease of use of Google Earth allows you to manage easily the waypoints sent wirelessly to your NS-START.Pro. Up to 10 Waypoints can be memorized.
GPS speedo and compass
The overground speed of the boat as measured by the GPS receiver is provided with several levels od sensitivity (High / Medium / Low). The trip distance, the GPS heading, and the maximum speed can also be accessed.
Fully upgradable
The embedded firmware of the NS-START Pro is upgradable thanks to its embedded bluetooth transceiver: new features and firmware upgrades are available in our download area.
The easiest count-down timer
Press the timer button to get the 5 minute sequence started. Press it again and it will re-synchronize to 4 or 1.
GPS Data-logger
Hundred of hours of sailing data can be recorded and transferred wirelessly through Bluetooth to your computer for post-races analysis.
Dedicated user interface for the start
With a dedicated button for the timer and 2 dedicated ones for the boat and pin, anyone in the crew can launch the start sequence immediately while focusing on the boat performances. The symbols on the buttons and their positions make the misunderstanding and wrong usage totally impossible with an easy access on starboard tack.
Distance to the start line
The NS-START Pro start line distance function allows to pinpoint exactly where you are relative to the line.
- A +/- sign indicates clearly which side of the line you are.
- Unique bow offset gives the exact distance from your bow to the line.
- Ends can be ‘pinged’ whilst traveling in any direction.
- Boat/pin end buttons: dedicated buttons make storing the start line easy and intuitive.
