Possible cooperative project
I was considering the march of technology and the computing power many
of us have on our boats, then considered the byzantine methods the various mapping agencies use to create our nautical charts and how out-of-date they really are. Has anyone seen a project to collect position and depth data automatically and periodically upload the data to a central server? I vaguely recall someone who mapped one or more anchorages automatically like that, and there's another project where large and commercial ships sample and analyze the waters they're passing through. I would love to participate, in exchange for charts that accurately show what's ahead of our keel. Yeah, yeah, it's a project that would in some way require the cooperation of the various national agencies ... Or one of the map sellers might be interested, as it would give them an incredible edge over the other suppliers. -- Jere Lull Xan-à-Deux -- Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
