DESCRIPTION

The Vakaros Atlas 2 is a 25 Hz dual-band GPS, compass and heel instrument built for sailboat racing — one sunlight-readable display showing distance-to-line, time-to-line, speed, heading and shift tracking at the start and around the course.

Where most instruments update a few times a second, the Atlas 2 fixes position with a 25 Hz L1+L5 multi-constellation receiver and fuses it with 3-axis magnetometer, gyro and accelerometer data, so line sights, VMG and heel stay rock-steady through tacks, waves and heel. The optically bonded Gorilla Glass reads cleanly through polarized sunglasses.

It pairs with the free Vakaros Connect app (iOS/Android) to configure pages, push line marks and review logged tracks, and it charges wirelessly — drop it on the Qi pad and go.
