well done if the post is acceptable

whoa great session guys. Terry, lets hope those number stick. Is Dale signed up yet????

Guys, Brooklands tomorrow could be going off if the NW arrives.

just noticed two new team members, welcome to Shane and Dinks

Hi guys,

If using positional data then change the little pulldown menu to read "Trackpoints" instead of "Doppler".

I'm happy to check the track if you have any doubts

Hi Neb,

         surely everybody would use positional if allowed, the speeds are generally so much faster but it feels like cheating when there is a so much more accurate analysis method (doppler and trapezoidal integration).

Some of these speeds are 0.6-0.7 faster ....but we'll take 'em.

Nice one Terry!

Hey Mike,

The Trackpoints option is there for people with older GPS's that don't record doppler.  We believe in letting them still compete, but they are encouraged to upgrade to a proper GPS that uses doppler - this means that they will be on the same level playing field as everyone else.

It's a big can of worms, we've been through it before, and letting people choose which one to use seemed like the best idea.  The vast majority of people choose to use doppler, as it has been proven to be more accurate than positional data.

That said, I believe that KA72 uses doppler if you've got a NAVI, so perhaps you can select "D" after all?  I'll check the track and let you know, anyway.

Woohoo Great numbers Team and Terry well done on your PB's!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terry,

File can be downloaded for checking from http://www.ka72.com/biglist.aspx (Filter by location Clearwater)

This is a gpx file, so the site processes it as a trackpoints file. There is no doppler data in most gpx files.

If you upload an sbn or sbp file from a Navi, it will give you doppler speeds.

Anyone can download and check the file from ka72.com (above link) if you want to verify it.

Part of the point of ka72.com is that it makes uploaded files available for verification by anyone.

Happy Sailing, 

Dylan.
