Before you setup a connection, we’d like to clarify how sailing data will be transferred from your MAX mini to your Sailmon App account.
AFTERWARDS
1. Your MAX mini is connected to your personal Sailmon App account and the internet (page 11).
2. You go sailing with your MAX mini turned on. No internet connection is needed on the water because the data will be automatically saved into the MAX mini.
3. Once you are back on land, your MAX mini will automatically find the internet connection you set up earlier.
4. The MAX mini sends the data automatically to the Sailmon servers.It needs some time (depending on the strength of the network) to transfer the data into the app. The trip is then ready to be viewed!
LIVE
1. You’ve ordered the live functionality via the Sailmon App (page 12)
2. Your MAX mini is connected to your personal Sailmon App account and the internet via the SIM card is active.
3. You go sailing with your MAX mini turned on. The data will be sent live
to the Sailmon App, ready to be viewed as the action takes place on the water.
4. After you’ve finished your trip and turned off the MAX mini, your trip will be saved in the Sailmon App for further analysis.
STEP 1A: DOWNLOAD THE SAILMON APP

This will transfer your data faster, and it enables MAX mini to receive updates.
