Miniplex-2Wi, the new WiFi multiplexer for iPad and iPhone

The company has just introduced ShipModul on its website its new wireless multiplexer, the Miniplex-2Wi. This device comes in direct competition to the IMUX Brookhouse, on which I wrote several posts on this blog, but penalized since early 2011 by delivery prohibitive for France.
The Miniples-2Wi only regards boats owners with NMEA 0183 and/or RAYMARINE SeaTalk instruments. For boats with a network [...]

Search for charts information data with iNavX

Navionics vector charts contain a number of detailed information for each marina, and sometimes some moorings. These places are marked on charts by the symbol shown against.
These data are called in English "Navaids" when information concerning navigation, and "POIs" when dealing with practical and interesting information (Point Of Interest, call number « s » is the plural).

iOS 5 can delete your Navionics charts without warning

Pleasant surprise in the ARC transatlantic 2011.
After transferring pictures from my camera to my iPad, for some reason the memory was saturated. I had yet to 9GB free and I have transferred the contents of an SD-Card 2GB. Mystery !
Still, after two or three system messages informing me of the next saturation, iOS 5 has simply deleted all my [...]

Updated iOS5 and iNavX

Richard Ray tells us :

I noticed after updating iOS 5 that any charts I had downloaded into iNavX were not restored. This occurred because the iOS 5 update requires a full restore of the device and the charts are not stored in the iOS backup (because of iCloud).Let me know if you see different behavior.

Anchor Alarm with iNavX

iNavX offers for a while an "anchor alarm" feature, currently available at the bottom of the application Home page.
This feature was frequently criticized as impractical. iNavX 3.3.0 rectifies the failure in an improvement that makes it particularly clever now fully operational.
The "Anchor Alarm" feature allows to set the radius of a drift circle, with an adjustment from 0,01 MN (19 meters) [...]

Files transfer from Mac to iPad / iPhone

In a recent post, I mentioned the possibility of transferring files between a Mac and WiFi iPad Files Connect with the application. This is of course not the only method.
In a forthcoming article, I will discuss the connection of an Iridium with a Mac OS X, to make requests and receive GRIB files in the open sea. As to date it is not possible [...]

iNavX and the "Man Overboard"

For a while Rich Ray was asked to add a feature button "Man overboard" in its applications. Recently, following a new application on the site macsailing.net, he justified his refusal by the following reasons :

Such a button would take up limited/valuable screen real-estate on every screen..
Such a button , with expected behavior, come in [...]

Installing an iMux aboard "Lady Jane"

My Fischer 37 "Lady Jane" is equipped at the base of a conventional antenna Raymarine GPS, the trio wind, depth, speed instruments, and a multi chartplotter / Radar C70 :

In November 2010, reading this blog I have a strong incentive to get a multiplexer. Control its navigation and see instruments displayed with iPhone is really a challenging project. The navigation software is very iNavX [...]
