I haven’t actually cruised with the Nobeltec TimeZero iPad app yet but I was able to preview it before it made it to the iTunes store last week and I have already seen its excellent (Bad Elf Pro-powered) tracking while underway in car and dinghy…
Powerboaters could learn a thing or two about using electronics from sailors. There are some new systems that make these lessons more apparent. See what we’re talking about here.
Navigation electronics make things easy on boaters—till they go wrong. Learn the best way to stay safe while cruising. Our tips will help you know just where you are, where you’re headed, and how to get home using a keen mind, a sharp eye, and the tools of the trade.
FLIR has introduced a thermal imager with technology previously unavailable to civilians like us.
Thermal imaging works just fine in daylight, but can it cut through sight-reducing mists?
Even the most seat-of-the-pants navigator can benefit from passing his or her eyes over a course in advance of a cruise. Voyage-planning software gives you the option to do this at your helm, your home computer, or even a tablet or other mobile device. Learn more about how to use this powerful navigational tool here.
Relying on navigation electronics is a double-edged sword. Trust is necessary, along with constant doubt. Only together can these diametrically opposed conditions work to get us where we need to go.
More satellites, more precise positioning. Simrad’s new GS25 is a GPS antenna and a GLONASS antenna, all in one tidy package.
FLIR launched the MD-324 as one of the company’s MD-Series of fixed-mount thermal-imaging cameras. The cameras are simple to mount and easy to integrate into existing electronics, and come at an affordable price point.
Add a CHIRP sounder system, in a bracket-mount standalone unit. Raymarine Dragonfly may be the buzz on the fishing docks this spring.
There was significant news regarding Garmin’s BlueChart Mobile app (BCM). In fact, anyone with a relatively current iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone—that is, one that’s running iOS 6 or better—can download the basic and free BlueChart app right now.
GPS is here to stay with satellites in the pipeline. But devices such as the iPhone 5 and Garmin GPSMap 7215 can take advantage of other systems too.
Radar shows us what we cannot see, due to distance, fog, and darkness. But the way it does that is undergoing a major change, and we wanted to know more. Tim Bartlett learned all about it and shares what he learned here.
PCs can be a great addition to your electronics array, so long as you pick the right one.
