Available Marks

Hi,

I race in a club where we use the same courses week after week. I used a regatta broadcast for last week’s race and went through and entered the GPS co-ordinates of all the marks in all the courses.

I’ve now set up another broadcast for this week’s race and was hoping the marks I set up last week would be available for me to add to my courses. However, there is nothing under the Available Marks section. Is there any way I can export the marks from last weeks regatta and import them in to this weeks?

BTW – absolutely fantastic application! Its going to take off at my club in a big way

Michael,

Currently, there is no such functionality. Until we build something like this I propose the following:

– Request a “Regatta page” for the whole series here: http://raceqs.com/pro-regatta-broadcast/

– Enter divisions/starts/marks for one event

– Ask us to copy them to the others

We have 7 divisions that each have four different courses that are the same for the whole season. The courses use up to six fixed buoys in the river and some day buoys that are laid in approximately the same position each week on race day.

Can you possibly copy the available marks from this regatta page:

http://raceqs.com/regattas/48931

To this regatta page:

http://raceqs.com/regattas/49008

 

If you could, that would make my job much easier.

Thanks

Michael,

Please request a page FOR THE WHOLE SERIES (click “Add one more day” above submit button).

Hi RAceqs,
Its 2019 – I am the same as Michael Roberts, we use the same marks each week, but sometimes in a different order because of the wind direction.

Has the app advanced to now ‘store’ the mark locations for reuse? Or do I take the above you create a series and then add another day for each race [despite them being a week apart]

The whole fleet want to use the app

Dear all,

it’s quite simple to reuse MARKS when you generate them with any navigation program (e.g. OpenCPN) and export the marks  to GPX format. From now on you can import the marks again and again in RaceQs for each regatta. The race course has to be generated however each time (sequence of marks)
