iNavX in iPhone app store (US and Canada only)

Welcome iNavX. Seriously.

Welcome to the most exciting segment of the computer industry - mobile phones.

And congratulations on your first mobile phone software product.

Putting real navigation power in the hands of boaters around the world will make their experience safer, more enjoyable, and richer. It's happening already.

We look forward to responsible competition in the effort to distribute this technology to the world. And we appreciate the magnitude of your commitment.

Here's a very small review of iNavX

http://vofj.blogspot.com/2008/08/inavx-i...sions.html

What about a demo version that only works for a certain amount of time or only with certain charts? I'd like to see how it works and looks before spending $50...

I've got a Furuno GP-30 that I've tried to use with MacENC. I can't seem to get the Direction Up, SOG, COG, or the Velocity Vector to function. Is this common, or am I screwing something up?

Note, I get all of the above to work with my USB GPS, and my Garmin 48.

Wow! The feedback on the App Store looks amazing. Can't wait to try it in anger!

Can iNavX stream charts from MacENC, or do we need to wait for the international version?

When will the UK be supported? Please release soon!!

I am so pleased with iNavX! Thank you.

A suggestion. When opening a chart, change the default scale to largest (view the most geographic area). For some charts with a large white border (see 14820, Lake Erie), the user now sees a blank white display when choosing that chart and could be confused that there is some problem which there isn't. Until the user scrolls around or changes the scale, all that is seen is white. I would like to see the ability to scale even larger but there is probably a performance issue with that.

Just installed a pactor III usb modem with bluetooth connected via either bluetooth (haven't been able to connect to any station via bluetooth) and or usb to our macbook (intel) running XP through bootcamp. We are using "airmail" connecting via "winlink" to hopefully be able to send and receive email, so far somewhat spasmodic.

I have been having a fair number of problems, but the main one is that the Macbook "loses" the connection between "airmail" and the modem while running XP. I have to do a total reboot re the XP and often (mostly) it will lose the connection again. Today it even lost the com 5 port and said it didn't have one. Managed to get that back, but once again "lost" the connection. I have installed "chokes" on the ends of the usb cables connecting the computer to the modem which enabled me to connect to a station accepting email.

A side issue is that I have only been able to connect to Ks1Xa to down load email, a reputably, very reliable connection, anybody else; not so much, as in never!

Getting very frustrated, as we're leaving soon to go down the west coast to Mexico and we really like to rely on out setup, but not so far.

Does anyone have similar experiences and thus some answers? I'm sure I have my settings correct, but am getting somewhat lost in the arcane world of XP!!!!

Really appreciate any help

One of the cool things you can do with iNavX is make it a repeater of MacENC NMEA data. Setup Instructions.

iNavXâ„¢ brings NOAA RNC raster US waters marine charts to your iPhone or iPod Touch.

With iNavXâ„¢ you can use the iPhone's built in location services (i.e. GPS, cell tower, wifi) to plot your position in real-time on the marine chart.

Using the iPhone's or iPod Touch's WiFi connection, iNavXâ„¢ can also act as a repeater for popular marine navigation software that supports NMEA data over TCP/IP such as MacENC or other MS Windows marine navigation applications (i.e. Coastal Explorer, Expedition).

In addition to real-time chart plotting, iNavXâ„¢ supports waypoints, track log, and measuring bearing/distance.

iNavXâ„¢ is available in the US iPhone App Store in the "Navigation" section for US$49.99

** Note: At this time iNavX will only be in the US iPhone App store, but it is planned for iNavX to work with international chart suppliers and support non US waters in the future.

Just like GPSNavX and MacENC, iNavX will be updated frequently. So please send in ideas for enhancements. Keep in mind an iPhone or iPod do not have nearly the resources your Mac does.
