The application combines this website and a mobile internet connection, through
3G, WiFi or mobile phone to keep track of where you are during your trip/journey.
You can use practically any mobile phone that supports WAP or web browsing.
You pay for WAP browsing chargeable at your mobile network's rate - if unsure of
costs, please check with your network provider.
The mobile site is designed to use as little mobile bandwidth as possible, no pictures
or fancy colours - just plain simple text to keep costs to a minimum and speed at
maximum. Typically while on the move, each page is only a few hundred bytes - this
keeps your Internet costs to a minimum.
While on the move, you use your mobile phone (or computer) to select the starting
location (ie. a bridge or lock) and then click on a place as you go past it, you
don't need to select every place you pass but your timings and statistics will be
more accurate if you do.
If you have a standalone GPS unit, you can also use this to manually upload your
journey, although you'll not benefit from the realtime routing and online features.
In the future, a Java program for your phone and a dedicated hardware device will
be developed that will remain in your boat and connect to this site automatically.
Ideal security for rental and timeshare boats.
Your privacy is always protected, only journeys and your location will be disclosed
to people you want to share the information with.
