THE ADVANTAGES OF WAYPOINT-TRACKING : ANIMATION / ORGANISATION
The organisation of nauticals events is complex :
Often the nauticals events are tacking place offshore making the following and understanding impossible for potential viewers.
Essential for proper conduct, partners request visibility for a better “return to investment”.
Often clubs have to appeal a large number of volunteers, difficult to mobilise and costly to the organisation
Competitors, organizers, spectators and media broadcasters desire intermediate and final standing in real time.

Following live the boats
