TackTracker for Navigation Rally

Navigation Rally Boats
the TackTracker Navigation Rally module offers an exciting solution for power boaters. This is the smart, modern way to run a rally on water!

A Navigation Rally is a test of navigation and boat handling skills as well as being great fun for all competitors. Now with TackTracker, running a Nav Rally is no longer a volunteer intensive operation and everyone can join in and participate. At many clubs, TackTracker has helped the club re-invigorate the sport and get more members involved.

Results can be made available soon after the rally is finished and competitors can view their run online in the TackTracker Player.

Rally results and reports are now available online for all Rally events published to the TackTracker Cloud.

GPS April 6 Week number rollover bug affects QStarz Loggers

QStarz BT-Q1000XT and CR-Q1100P loggers are both impacted by the GPS Week Number rollover that occurred on April 6 2019 and may now report the wrong date. For a firmware fix from QStarz, please check this page: https://qws.qstarz.com/WNRO/.

Even if your devices are affected by this issue, the latest version of TackTracker automatically fixes any incorrect dates uploaded from your device so you're good to go tracking!


Sharing races online is now both easy and free!

TackTracker no longer charges Publish Credits to publish races to the TackTracker Cloud. Cloud storage has become much cheaper and we've decided to pass on the savings. And it means that there is only one simple charge (Tracker Rights) for live tracking.

Users who have existing Publish Credits will have them converted to credit towards purchase of Tracker Rights. See your account page.
