Marine Navigation…in the iPhone
Yes, one of the many applications being developed for the iPhone is marine navigation. I spoke to a good friend and colleague, Dana Fenner, ex-of Tele Atlas, now with Navionics that provides vector maps and charts that allow you to plot a course using their marine data. That in itself may not sound terribly exciting because Garmin is a huge competitor in this market. Garmin collects their own data. But Navionices is looking to incorporate real-time tide and depth charts. That is something that would be a distinct differentiator and as we’ve said for a long time, real-time data will become more ubiquitous in many applications.
