Charting goes iPhone

  30/10/2008
Navionics Mobile - the new navigation software for the Apple iPhone - has just been shortlisted for the DAME Award in the ‘Marine related software' category. Navionics Mobile expands navigation opportunities by bringing detailed marine charts on the Apple iPhone.
 

Navionics Mobile 

Navionics Mobile turns mobile phones into marine chartplotters, with the clarity and detail of the most renowned marine cartography. Navionics Mobile allows uploading Navionics charts on the iPhone - see GPS position on the chart, pan and zoom, view object descriptions, in both day and night modes, and much more.

 

Navionics Mobile charts are easily downloaded to your phone from the internet, and are then stored allowing you to navigate without a mobile signal.

 

For those boaters who already have a chartplotter, Navionics Mobile can help to improve navigation safety, acting as a supplementary navigator. It can also be used for the tender, or simply to consult the charts while at home or on land without the need to be in front of your plotter onboard.

 

In addition, with Navionics Mobile, you can use the iPhone to navigate on the ski trails of over 460 resorts in the alps, as well as on outdoor trails.

 

Since its introduction in 1991, the ‘DAME' (Design Award METS), has become recognized worldwide as the leading competition of its type in the field of marine equipment and accessories. The DAME prize is awarded annually to the best-designed product at the METS exhibition in Amsterdam.

 

The announcement of the winner of the DAME Award 2008 will take place during the METS Breakfast Briefing in the Forum of Amsterdam RAI on Tuesday 18 November 2008.
