What is GPS Tracking
Join the largest GPS-tracking network of recreational boats in the world. Friends and family can see your current position, boat speed and heading and do not need a PredictWind account. The web page can be viewed in a web browser or embedded in your blog or website.
Please see an example of a GPS Tracking page below:

PredictWind Tracker App - track using your cell phone
Our new PredictWind Tracker App offers an economical GPS tracking solution with no extra cost or hardware than your current cell phone for PredictWind customers with a Standard or Professional subscription.
The PredictWind Tracker is an ideal way to get started with GPS tracking before buying a purpose-designed GPS hardware device, such as a DataHub or Iridium GO, or as a last resort if there's no time before heading off on your passage.
Important Note: iOS is available now; Android is coming soon.
