Open source NMEA to WiFi gateway - Kickstart campaign

[mashenden]

Somehow I have managed to steer this thread off topic.

As long as you do it with a tiller and not a wheel.

By the way, reading about D-Day... although the Normandy invasion was delayed one day, to June 6th, due to weather, some ships had already departed in anticipation of a June 5th landing. They were not only on radio silence, but visual communication (i.e., flashing light) silence, as well, and, of course, without running lights. To recall them, they needed to be chased down in the dark and hailed with megaphones. (I'm pretty sure these were 1.0 megaphones!)

OMG, the 1.0 megaphone was such an improvement over the 1.0 POSphone, aka a straight pipe. People were backgrading to just using cupped hands. Pure genius, I tell you.

Interesting! Is anyone writing apps to display the data?
