Launched at the same time as the iPhone 3GS and iNavX app, and a few months before the first iPad, This blog follows since 10 n the continued growth of mobile devices used in marine navigation.
Through more than 350 Articles, I tried to guide users through the evolution of Apple mobile navigation hardware and applications.
With a ten-year daily average of 210 visits and 360 Page views, with 1450 Comments to articles over the past ten years, This blog confirms the constant progress of tablets and smartphones on board our boats.
And that's not counting the hundreds of emails exchanged with visitors to the website and blog, and the hundreds of hours of training and assistance that this activity has earned me with dozens of sailors throughout France and beyond, at my house or on their boat, or during on-board courses with ACM. I have also been asked to give conferences presenting navigation on tablets by many organizations, Yacht Clubs, Associations, marinas, in France and also in Switzerland. Some great friendships were born of these benefits, and quite a few nautical miles covered have resulted from it.
When passion, technicity and some skills intermingle and accumulate, It is a pleasure to share them with your fellow boaters. Hoping to be able to share it with as many people as possible for a while longer, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have shown their confidence in me in the use of these great navigation tools, Gone from science fiction to everyday reality in a few years.
