Thanks, this is fantastic.

I'd been waiting a while for this. It works really well (we used it during a race around inner Sydney Harbour on the weekend, and the screen lock over-ride meant we had a full record of our course).

How often does the iPhone/iNavX record a position? Overlaying our course onto Google Earth, there looked to be a few instances where it doesn't show us going quite as far as we think we did (ie, mark rounding, sailing close to a headland before a last-minute tack).

iNavX records a track position about every second, however if an accurate position ("HPE:" > 600') is not available then it will not record. I don't believe screen lock should not disable iNavX from recording a track position.

Hi,

Can iNavX/Ipod touch relay the data from iNavX?

When iNavX is using NMEA via TCP/IP it acts as a client. It cannot act in the capacity as a NMEA server. MacENC can be a NMEA TCP/IP server as can an PC running GPSGate.

iNavX 2.0.5 is the latest. iNavX 2.0.6 will be submitted to Apple in the next few days.
