A couple of guys at my club are showing up with these new fangled velositek, velocitek, whatever GPS thingys on their deck where the compass is usualy mounted. I say there is no way these things are legal.
You can plug in the poistion of the RC boat, pin position and the device has a count down and tells you your position from the line, (among many other things like course vmg and the like).
I was asked to buy one and I say no way. That thing has to be illegal!
Guys tells me they used them at MWE and no one said anything to them, (but they finished last and dead last so I imagine they could have run outboards and no one would have said anything to them).
Anyway I want to confirm my thinking that it is illegal to even have these mounted on the boat, turned on or not.
Thoughts?
