SCOUT: now and the sea

We all, of course, use different navigation equipment in our personal vehicles. This is now no surprise. But what about the sailing ships? Until recently, I did not think about it. But the other day our company equipped with tracking systems SCAUT about 20 sailing yachts and became the technical sponsor of the Open Championship of Russia in the class of yachts ORCSportboat . For those who have not yet heard, the regatta will be held in the waters of the Gulf of Finland from August 29 to September 2, 2012 near Kronstadt and Zelenogorsk.





So, a little technical details.

Mobile devices with the SCAUT-Navigator software solution installed on board each of the participants will allow fans to watch the race in real time on a special web-interface http://m.scout-gps.ru/regatta . He does not require registration.

Here you can find information about the location, speed, direction of movement of the vessel, as well as information about the participants of the regatta.

Active users of mobile devices and tablets will be able to follow the race course right from their gadgets. An optimized web interface will work for this. Thus, not only the fans, but also the participants of the sea trophy will be able to track the location of the yachts. Discuss the actions of the captains will also be "VKontakte" on the forum dedicated to the Regatta http://vk.com/scoutclub . Join now!

But "SCOUT-Navigator" is designed not only to monitor the yachts, but also to ensure the safety of yachtsmen. For this vessel were equipped with virtual "alarm buttons."

The organizers are confident that the Regatta will, firstly, contribute to the popularization of yachting in Russia, and secondly, will become another platform for the application of advanced GLONASS / GPS technologies in practice.
