Knotmeter is a totally awesome and convenient piece of technology.
Do you get tired of checking your knot speed while busy sailing or having fun with your friends on your yacht? Do you want to make sure your fishing boat does not exceed trolling speeds for certain kinds of fish while you are busy having a blast on your fishing trip? Is your current knotmeter broken on your boat? Do you simply want to make sure you keep at a certain pace in your speed boat? If so, Knotmeter is the perfect fit for you!

Addiitonally the analog knotmeter will work if you do not have a Pebble. So, try it out guys!

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Firstly, press install button with the Pebble Install symbol on the main screen. This will take you to the Pebble Appstore so that you may download the Pebble app.
2) Secondly, press "Connect" on the main screen. This will connect you to the Pebble app.
3) If you wish to use the Speed Limit Alert system, press the settings symbol button on the main screen. This will take you to the settings screen. Here you can change units from kts to mph or vice versa. You can also turn the speed limit function on by pressing "Speed Limit Alert."
Set your preferred speed for the speed limit alert vibration function in the "SET SPEED LIMIT" button (be sure you selected kts or miles before inputting this value).
4) After you have conducted 1-3 you are good to sail to your destination care free! After you sailing to your destination, you will find it very difficult to speed with this speed limit alert system!

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

You must have a working GPS signal, open sky, for Knotmeter to work properly.

Built-in battery saving techniques:
- This app must use GPS to track speeds. The phone GPS will not shut off unless you press “Disconnect from Pebble”
- Another way to save on the battery is to not press “PREVENT SLEEPING."
If the light is red on this button then the “PREVENT SLEEPING” function is not turned on.
If this function is turned on it will drain more battery power.
