Yes, the Nauteek SC200 looks a lot better than the Velocitek S1. It's more money...but seems to have better on the water functions and display modes, better waterproofness (not in a separate box) and easier to use buttons with menus. It determines true upwind direction (TUD) by dividing your tacking angles or you can enter a compass heading.

There's a new firmware out that allows waypoints & routes...so it now becomes useful for distance racing. Also has a man overboard mode to help you get back to the same place you dropped your crew :-)

Backlighting is a nice feature as well.

Seems to be under $600 in the US from a couple of distributors.

What do you guys think about this thing?
I dont think that any device on the market has more features.
At €550 its not exactly cheap, but on the other hand a separate GPS and Tacktick adds up to the same amount.
