Default Boating iphone apps

Although I not only work with high tech but also invent it, I am
somewhat of a luddite having never sent a text message or even looked
at a "tweet" and iphones were far off my personal radar but at
Thanksgiving, my sister showed me her iphone and some apps and I
immediately went into "inventor" mode seeing the possibilities.
Why not an app that helps id fish and keeps up withe the constantly
changing fishin regulations?
Why not an app that turns the GPS equipped phone into a chart plotter
( just found this one exists, it is called "inavx")?


Other possibilities:
For my diabetic daughter: An app to calculate carbs of a meal based
on what you eat.
An app to quickly calculate your cars mpg when you fill up.

A "stethoscope" app using the phone held to your chest.
A birdsong app identifying birds based on the calls it hears from
Fourier Analysis.



1. There are at least a bunch of iphone apps for diabetics.
2. You need an app to divide the number of gallons you buy into the
mileage since the last fill-up? Were you home schooled?
3. There is an app for "stethescoping."
4. There are also birdsong apps.

No, I don't have an iPhone.

If you are flajim, herring, loogy, GC boater, johnson, topbassdog, rob,
achmed the sock puppet, or one of a half dozen others, you're wasting
your time by trying to *communicate* with me through rec.boats, because,
well, you are among the permanent members of my dumbfoch dumpster, and I
don't read the vomit you post, except by accident on occasion. As
always, have a nice, simple-minded day.
