Use any GPS device for sailing — and get full race analysis.
Whatever you already have on the boat — a Garmin watch on your wrist, an Apple Watch, a Vakaros Atlas on the cockpit floor, a Velocitek Prostart, a phone, a GoPro — ChartedSails turns the track into automatic race detection, maneuver-by-maneuver numbers, and a shareable debrief.
Recommended devices
Garmin watch
Your Garmin syncs automatically to ChartedSails. Set up the Sailing activity once and every session lands on your dashboard.
Apple Watch
Record a clean sailing GPS track with Open GPX Tracker, then drop the file into ChartedSails for full race analysis.
Vakaros Atlas
Link your Vakaros account once and every Atlas session syncs to ChartedSails automatically — past and future.
Velocitek Prostart
Copy the .vtk file from your Prostart and drop it on ChartedSails — works from a laptop or straight from your phone.
Phones & cameras
iPhone
The same Open GPX Tracker app works on the iPhone — free, no ads, exports a clean GPX file ready for ChartedSails.
Android phone
GPS Logger records a clean sailing track from any Android phone, with one-tap export to a GPX file.
GoPro camera
Every modern GoPro records GPS inside the video. ChartedSails extracts it on upload — no extra device needed.
Boat data logger
NMEA log
Logging raw NMEA from a chartplotter, instruments, or a dedicated logger? Drop the file straight into ChartedSails — we parse the standard sentences and reconstruct the track.
Yacht Devices VR
Export your YDVR session as CSV with Yacht Devices' converter, then upload to ChartedSails — we detect the format automatically.
Other formats
Expedition Sailing
If you sail with Expedition on a bigger boat, drop the .csv straight into ChartedSails — we read it natively.
Any GPS export
GPX and FIT cover almost everything. We also read TCX, KML, RaceBox UBX, and the CSV exports from Sailmon, Cyclops, RaceGeek, and friends.
Don't see your device? If it exports GPX, FIT, TCX, KML, NMEA, or a sailing CSV, it almost certainly works. Get in touch and we'll help you get set up.
