The Atlas Edge Smokes the Competition!
Sailors demand a simple instrument with new technology. In the development of higher tech GPS instruments, simpler sailors and boats have been left behind. We're bringing top-rate tech to an instrument for more restrictive classes. The Atlas Edge is just that.
Which classes have already confirmed the Edge as legal? The Lightning, Thistle, Dragon, Melges 15, and more! All these classes are stepping towards the future, moving away from the past of the Tacktick.
The Tacktick uses a fluxgate compass, technology which was groundbreaking before World War II, but is now obsolete. The root of racing is an exceptional compass, and the Atlas Edge offers best-in-class .1° heading repeatability.What does this mean on the water? Better data to make better decisions.
The Atlas Edge brings together a wide range of capabilities to support sailors with a cost-effective, advanced unit fit for simplicity and performance.
And, when you want to check back into data after sailing, the Atlas Edge is the only device on the market combining a dual-band L1+L5 GNSS receiver with a magnetic compass. This, plus an internal IMU, puts the Atlas Edge in a league of its own.
Our two products: the flagship Atlas 2 and the new, more affordable Atlas Edge
FAQs:
- What are the main functional differences between the Atlas 2 and Atlas Edge? The Atlas Edge lacks the ability to display line information (DTL, TTL, etc) as well as connect to external sensors. Otherwise, the Atlas Edge is based on the same powerful hardware as the Atlas 2
- What about in classes like the Lightning or Dragon where functionality while racing is reduced? The Atlas Edge supports Class Compliant modes, which restrict the functionality of the Atlas, and allows competitors and RC to audit what features were available at a given time.
