Description

The Fast Track app is a powerful tool for outdoor and sailing activities.

It provides you with:

- Waypoints, tracks and routes in GPX format
- Offline and Image Maps
- Weather Forecast
- Voice notifications
- Route and waypoint navigation
- Proximity alerts
- Navigation analysis


For sailors the fast track provides:

- Sailing specific indicators as: VMG, Bearing, Course, Deviance, …

- Leg comparison. When choosing a destination The Fast track app will automatically
determine the theoretical wind of direction as upwind or downwind from your current position. Each time the boat crosses this direction, The Fast Track app will assume the boat's tacking or gybing. And creates a new leg. You can also enter the current wind direction.

- A time to line tool, synchronized with the regatta chronometer, keeping you informed with estimated time to the start line. So you can make a perfect start!

Before sailing The Fast Track app, we strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the app in the simulation mode, where you will be provided with the necessary buttons to simulate your boat's speed and bearing.

We recommend you to use a bluetooth external GPS antenna to enhance the accuracy of the application and get the better results.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Offshore fishing captain
5 ★Good application
5 ★Excelente
5 ★I love the app especially the lay line facility. It's easy to use even during a race. It would be good if you could switch (not-auto) between landscape and portrait mode as I like to mount my HTC One on the tiller. Also the option of white characters on black background might improve visibility in high sunshine situations.
5 ★I was pleasantly surprised by how much functionality this app has. More than I will use as a weekend boater. I particularly like how you can choose your map background such as Google maps. Great app!
5 ★More precise and more options. More Friendly to use than the gps system on my sail boat. Plan to get a large tablet, download this fastrack and use it on my boat
5 ★Easy to use. Would love to see a raxe start countdown timer even if i do notload waypoints EDIT: Darn fast response from support. And now I know how to access the timer! Whoa!. Rating adjusted to 5*

5 ★Better Improvements! Thank you!
5 ★Best free sailing app I have found
5 ★So far has improved my Wet Wednesdays. Very happy.
5 ★I've tried many of navigation apps some free, some paid for I can honestly say this app does everything I need it to do. The only way this app gets better is with buoy information and up to date sea state.
