  I am a former consultant at Moorfields Eye Hospital and I have just dipped my toe into the water of boat ownership and boating for the first time. Whilst trying to learn whatever I can about seamanship, I am watching your videos Tom and learning a lot - thanks. Now living in Denmark, imagine my surprise to hear the name of a former colleague (Bill) mentioned! What an innovation. Congratulations to you and Bill for launching this app, and thanks for the educational voyage you are towing me on.

  Sounds great, can't beat a proper chart. Best of both worlds it would appear. One more vote for Android please! Great work Tom, looking forward to it. Thanks for your continued work to improve things for us sailors and remind us of our fantastic maritime traditions.

  When I sailed the length of the uncharted Algerian coast, I relied on satellite images for all the ports of refuge as well as the major places. That was in 2006 and the images are better still now. &nbsp;Great piece of work Tom, if only I still had a yacht!

  Until recently, moving to 37ct Countess as f/t cruiser Brittany, with usual digi- plotter, I was delighted to have been using the venerable old Yeoman, a hybrid solution using traditional paper charts (actually, &nbsp;any kind of map, so long as it had Lat/Long), that was placed over a digitising mat, and &apos;calibrated/synched&apos; against 2 or 3 points on chart, &nbsp;using a puck/ mouse, fed with GPS data. Then, &nbsp;child&apos;s play, &nbsp;literally, the puck, guided by whichever of 4 arrows were illuminated, could be moved until they were all unlit, &nbsp;and a little aperture with a pencil sized hole was exactly over the GPS derived actual position, &apos;fix&apos;, on the paper chart. My very young daughters delighted in doing this, and making the dot, &nbsp;circling, &nbsp;and writing the time. <br>However, should we lose GPS, or power, &nbsp;there was always the paper plot, track, and could supplement with taking bearings, depth contours, and EP, dead reckoning.<br>I think what Tom is presenting, also bridges this &nbsp;divide, &nbsp;paper/ chartwork skills, fallback, but in a much more convenient way, &nbsp;charts galore at fingertip, &nbsp;and autonomy of an iPad/ tablet, independent of yacht&apos;s integrated systems.<br><br>Having experienced my Garmin Plotter go offline, 2am, approaching Start Point for Dartmouth, solo, &nbsp;after over 20hr leg, trying to quickly revert to paper chartwork, losing night vision, &nbsp;I am very much into some fallback, &nbsp;contingency. Very interesting!
