With over 1 million Android devices activated daily, it’s the world’s leading mobile platform but, up until now, supported remarkably few marine navigation apps. Digital Yacht have just changed that with the introduction of AISView – an AIS viewing application for Android tablets and phones.
Signal K the new and powerful, open data format for marine data is rapidly approaching Version 1 release, which will coincide with the release of Digital Yacht's iKommunicate Gateway, that was successfully funded on Kickstarter at the end of last year. There is no better time, for developers to start evaluating and implementing SIgnal K on their apps and navigation programs.
The App is definitely a technology success story but with nearly 1 Million apps on the Google Play Store, finding the best apps is becoming quite difficult and time consuming. With this in mind, Digital Yacht have created a list of the best Marine Apps that allow you to use your Android Device as part of your navigation system, with particular focus on wireless NMEA data connections.
