AQUAGPS RX

Race tracking for your club and your boat.

A GPS tracker built for race days. It sends its position every second, so everyone watching sees the fleet move as it races.

Everything a race day needs, in the app you already use.

Live race map

Every tracked boat on the course, under two seconds behind the water.

Share with anyone

Make a race public and share a link or QR code. Spectators watch with no account.

Finishes from the finish line

The app watches the finish line and records a finish when a boat crosses it. The race officer can correct any finish.

Results

Finish, elapsed and corrected time for every boat.

Replay

When the race is over, the map becomes a replay.

Your club's marks

Save your buoys once and build courses from them.

FOR CLUBS

A tracker for every boat on race night.

  • Keep a set of trackers at the club and hand one to any boat on race night, including boats with no tracker of their own.
  • Keep track of who is holding each tracker.
  • Invite a guest boat to a single race without making them a member.
  • Run the day from the race page: start, finish, set finishes, see results. Our race-day guide covers every step.

FOR BOAT OWNERS AND RACERS

Your own tracker, in any race you enter.

  • Bring your own RX and your boat shows on the map in any club race it is entered in. No club tracker needed.
  • See your tracker's battery and signal on your boat page and in My AquaGPS Devices.
  • Find every race you are in under My races, and send family the live link.
  • You stay in control: a club can only enter your boat once you have added it to that club, and you choose "Ask me each race" or "Add without asking".

How it works

  1. Talk to us.

    Tell us whether it is for your boat or your club's fleet.

  2. We test every unit before it ships.

    Each tracker has already reported a position to NZ Boat Register before it leaves us.

  3. Charge it and race.

    Charge it by USB-C, and your boat appears on the map in any race it is entered in.

Questions

Is AquaGPS RX the same as AquaGPS?

No. AquaGPS is our tracker for keeping an eye on your boat around the clock. AquaGPS RX is a separate tracker built for racing. Read about AquaGPS.

How long does the battery last?

About two days on a charge. It charges by USB-C.

Is it waterproof?

It comes with an IP68 waterproof bag to keep it in.

Where does it work?

It sends its position over the mobile (cell) network, so it needs cell coverage.

How fast is the map?

It captures and sends a position every second, and a new position reaches the map in under two seconds.

Does every boat need a tracker to race?

No. A boat without one still races, it just does not appear on the map. A club can lend it one of its own.

Can people watch without an account?

Yes, if the race is public. Anyone with the link can follow it live.

How much does it cost?

We have not published pricing yet. Contact us and we will tell you what it costs for your boat or your club.
