Title: My wish list
#1
Managed a few days sailing using the iPad with iNavX as the main 'chartplotter'. So here are a few things that I'd like to see:

Selectable units for depth - metres please, to match my paper charts Wink

AIS - sometimes I wasn't seeing a CPA for some of the AIS targets which had a CPA on MacENC. Was this because MacENC was on all the time (so had calculated a CPA, whereas the iPad wasn't on all the time)? How does iNavX calculate the CPA?

AIS - would be nice to have a list arranged by lowest CPA, then closest. I don't mind if the big ships are close as long as they're ahead of me Wink

AIS - Need to know if the CPA is ahead of, or behind the particular target.

AIS - An alarm for CPA would be good, on an adjustable distance. Give me warning of anything that has a CPA of less than 1nm for instance.

Routes - didn't really get to play with this as we just worked out the course to steer and used the autopilot for that bit.

Currently, I'm working on an embedded device to take in several serial streams and multiplex them out over WiFi for iNavX and MacENC. Then I don't need to have the laptop on all the time. I'll have the device log position so I have my track, speed and wind etc. I can also make it track AIS targets and feed the 'static' information to any new TCP connection to prime things, so to speak. Any other suggestions for this?

Great product - looking forward to future enhancements.

Cheers,
Rick
