Marine
Navigator 3
Product
Specification
An advanced but simple to use navigation program for the
the Psion Series 3 Series range of handheld computers. MARINE NAVIGATOR
3 combines GPS input with
traditional navigation techniques into an easy to use but very
comprehensive navigation program. MARINE NAVIGATOR 3 can be interfaced
with a GPS receiver for “real time” navigation,
used on its own for navigation planning or in conjunction with a
traditional
marine sextant for astronomical navigation. MARINE NAVIGATOR 3
overcomes the limited memories of GPS units by allowing any number of
waypoint and toute files, up to the limit of the free memory in your
Psion. MARINE NAVIGATOR 3 will work with any GPS receiver which can
output NMEA 0183 position sentences and provides an easy, portable way
of carrying your navigational information about with you.
