VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: The Electronic Compasses require you to sail in Maximum Headers for Set Up:  1. This is OK if you have 30 minutes available before the start. Otherwise no tactical indications - just a Plain Compass.  2. This also means you can not reset the compass, to a new Mean Wind Direction, while racing. Again you have just a Plain Compass, basically what the Chinese invented one thousand years ago! For even more on this crucial subject see Table 2. 3. at https://sites.google.com/site/compassansar/

Furthermore the Electronic Compasses, Velocitek Shift and Tacktick Race Master need note taking and calculations to get the mean wind direction for set up before the race. 
  Ansar Compass now also with Remote Control. For all models see  https://sites.google.com/site/compassansar/

World's best tactical compass?  Mechanical - Non electronic. An Ansar Compass. With Remote Control.

  The Velocitek Shift Manual, http://www.velocitek.com/assets/files/manuals/Shift/Velocitek%20Shift%20User%20Manual.pdf  , 
avoids telling you how to get the Reference Angles for each tack, which are the 0 lift angle for each tack. For this you still need taking notes before and during the race! No major advantage with Velocitek Shift.
   For How to detect a larger lift than before with the Ansar 4 Tactical Compass see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq--v_xOOqk  This is also done without taking notes. Velocitek Shift and Tacktick require note taking!
