Using iPhone Apps to Sail the Oceans
By Jeff Almond on 2009-12-04 10:19:34
Our oceans are immense in size and sailors use an array of different compasses and satellites to chart their courses; in our modern world, technicians have created new software to make navigation an easier process. Award-winning tech entrepreneur and Santa Cruz sailor Philippe Kahn sails a grueling ocean race and carries his prized navigating possession: an iPhone 3GS packed in a watertight OtterBox case.
His iPhone is equipped with an app that his company developed called the MotionX-GPS. The app navigates, records his course and uploads his positions to a Google map, Facebook and Twitter with comments, photos and video. His sailboat ended up setting a world double-handed record in the race. MotionX-GPS navigation app is available for $2.99 and you should check that the app matches your device before purchasing as different devices have different position tracking.
