We highly recommend a PredictWind DataHub for automatic hourly or more frequent updates to your GPS tracking page ,this also allows the publishing of onboard data including True Wind Speed and Direction from your boat's instruments.
A great safety feature so those ashore can monitor not only your course and position.
The DataHub can connect to any satellite or cellular communication device including Starlink to send your position reports. Position reports are stored on the DataHub if communications are interrupted and sent once a connection is available.
PredictWind GPS Tracking is also available with the following devices:
Other options not requiring a device.
The PredictWind Tracker App offers an economical GPS tracking solution with no extra cost or hardware, so you can get started immediately before buying a purpose-designed, precision GPS hardware device such as a PredictWind DataHub or YB3i.
