Regatta Hero Quiz
What is the difference between buoys and course marks in Regatta Hero?
There is no difference. The term 'buoy' is just another word for 'mark'
In Regatta Hero, a buoy is a GPS position (buoy position) used to define the position of a course mark
The number of buoys (buoy positions) in Regatta Hero is unlimited, but the number of marks is limited to 20
If a mark is defined using only a single buoy position, it is a buoy. Otherwise, it is a course mark
How do you start boat tracking for a regatta?
By connecting the app to a GPS device
By pressing the 'Participate in the Regatta' button. Only when the header changes from blue to orange will the boat be tracked
Through automatic location detection. Regatta Hero independently identifies the regatta you are participating in
By manually entering the start time
What must be considered when using Regatta Hero on an Android device?
Install only via USB cable from a PC
For Android smartphones, it is essential to follow the 'Troubleshooting' section in the manual
There are no differences compared to installing on an iPhone
Regatta Hero is not available for Android
What happens to the courses when the position of a buoy is changed in Regatta Hero?
Nothing — buoys and courses are not related to each other
If a course definition includes course marks that refer to this buoy, the shape of all courses using this buoy position will change accordingly
Once a course is defined that uses this buoy to define a course mark position, the position is fixed and future changes have no effect
The position of buoys that are actively used for defining course marks cannot be changed
How do you get help if there are problems using the app?
There is a forum where you can ask questions at any time
Instead of reading the manual, you can always email support
Read the manual carefully and check tips in the forum and blog. Only then post a new question in the forum
Just call the Regatta Hero development team — they are always available
How do you register for a regatta in the app?
By writing your name on a list in the clubhouse
By manually entering the boat's GPS location
