[GPSNavX]

Got this report from Tom MacNeil

This morning we got to do sea trials on the boat. I was very interested how the Furuno Autopilot would react with the iMux-iNavX. I plotted a simple course and engaged the AP, then realized that my bow was pointing 180 degrees away from the course. I put the boat in gear and nudged up the throttle. The boat made a moderate 180 degree turn, found the waypoint and locked right on. As we neared the waypoint an alarm went off on the Furuno AP, stating the wp had been reached. I advanced the next wp in en route on InavX and the boat gently swung off to the new course. I ran the entire route in the same fashion... marveling on how tight the course keeping was. I tried it with a couple of "GoTo" WP's and found the tracking to work great. I went into an area of knowingly strong currents and it was fun to watch the system crab hitting the wp dead on.

As we were tying the boat back up the customer walked down the dock. He informed me that after seeing e pictures, he was so excited that he flew into Seattle and drove up to Anacortes (80 miles). I demonstrated the entire system to him. He was like a kid in a candy store. He had brought his friend with him, and I think he was just as excited as my customer. When I showed him how well iNavX handled all the navigation and the ease of sending routes to the iPad, he was absolutely incredulous. This was an incredible reward for all the hard work on this project. It's great when customers are happy with their job, but it is rare for them to fly in to see it!

This customer is a Kiwi so of course I had to tell him that the iMux came from NZ. I informed him how hard you had worked with Rich, to make iNavX as great as it is.
He is moving to southern California and taking the boat down the notorious Pacific Coast. He says he will not be using his computer and relying on the IPad as his main source of navigation.

Best,
Tom
