Very good app. Especially for having the possibility to compare various routes. I did not give 5 stars as it often login VR even though I previously chose to log out of VR. Not all the time but cca 50% of the times wich is annoying as it means I have to re-connect VR.

I learned a lot about routing from this app over the course of Vendée Globe 2020. When I was struggling a bit with the app, the support was prompt and really helpful.

Does not work correctly, it says sign into Virtual Regatta to allow Ap to run, Repeated that from a reboot of both aps Still Nothing. Repeated the process 10 or 12 times Still Nothing, Review is Correct...

the help is not very helpful...especially for those who are new to sailing and have no clue how to use this app?! perhaps a couple of how to videos on YouTube...which is standard for most things these days...would be helpful for those of us new to e-sailing and hopefully a video that's in English and not just French!? maybe it's just me but I'm battling to find YouTube videos in English on Sailgrib4VR!? Viva le France and all that...I cant speak French unfortunately...I wish ! 🤷‍♂️ thanks?

Proposes multiple gybes at 10 minute intervals and also long gybes out into lighter wind. Can send routing directly to Virtual Regatta but it needs refinement to avoid the issues above. Calculation options fast to precise are offered- no in-game guide but by email developer suggests 'regular'. Which setting to use for New Heading Tolerance? It seems to be unclear... I don't think this routing app is "second to none", as Dev claims, to me it's just one of a few options available.

Would be nice to see cost of premium. Just seems to tell you what you get with no costs shown or how to subscribe. Would appear that GOGGLE discriminates. Wont allow access to those in Gibraltar . Another tech giant and its discriminatory policies

About this app

Do you like Virtual Regatta? Whether you are a beginner or experienced player, casual or addictive gamer, SailGrib for Virtual Regatta, known as SailGrib4VR, offers you all the power of SailGrib WR at the exclusive Virtual Regatta service. With SailGrib4VR, you can compete with the best players!

The routing algorithm considers the specifics of the game to minimize penalties subject to sail changes, tacking and gybing. It also takes into account exclusion zones like the ZEA of the Vendée Globe.

When you open the app, you are automatically connected to your Virtual Regatta account. If you have several regattas in progress, select in the home page the one you want. Without any manipulation or setting, you can instantly find your position in real time on the map. If a new weather file is available for the game, it is automatically downloaded at the app start.

Place a target on the screen and calculate a routing towards that target.

Once the routing is done, send the programmations orders to VR, they will be immediately integrated in the game, and your boat will follow the path of this new route (Premium subscription only). That's it!
Without a subscription, you have to manually transfer the bearing of each isochron segment in the Virtual Regatta programming function.

Only one watchword: instant. One credo: efficiency. Wherever you are, on the move, on public transport, in a waiting room, at the time of a new weather file, take out your cell phone or tablet and update your routing.

Free app specs:
- 5 day routing
- Regular routing mode

The 3-month, with a 5 day FREE trial period, Premium subscription includes:
- up to 16 day routing
- 4 routing modes: Fast, Normal, Precise and Expert
