Termination Area
One common issue in tracking sessions is that boats continue transmitting their position after the race ends — including when they’re already back in the harbor or heading home. To prevent this, eStela offers the Termination Area feature.
How It Works
If a boat enters the Termination Area:
After crossing the start line, or
15 minutes after the scheduled race start time
…it will automatically be marked as “Finished.”
Any further positions sent from that boat will be ignored and won’t be recorded in the tracking session.
This ensures post-race movements don’t clutter the tracking data or confuse spectators reviewing replays.
