  • There are nice waterproof cases, and you can mount it on your sailboat. So it's a safe solution. To solve the battery problem: 12v cable to your boat's battery and done.

  • if someone has a boat he will propably have enouph money to buy a normal gps too

    And who whould be that stupid to go to they sea with his phone for navigation only

  • iPhone (with GPS) is a great backup or even main nav device if you don't have a fancy $1000 chartplotter. Assuming you have a proper nav app for it. And as battery power goes, you can get a cig lighter adapter to feed it. Not going to advertise anything, but there are several usefull marine nav aps ranging from $5 to $50. Not waterproof? Just put it into zip lock bag. And it will even float.

  • lol..these guys are so funny :) what they male up these days to sell...good they don't sell porno YET!

  • will it work on the new Ipod touch?

  • If your on a boat, the likeliness is that you would have the correct instruments anyway lol.

  • You must be nuts to expect something like this to be reliable in a wet and awkward situation like this. The iPhone ain't waterproof and the battery span ain't good enough. Only for emergencies I would think, the technology on board should be adequate enough. We don't need to get overboard with the iPhone being such a great phone and that!

  • hahaha what if the batteries run out. the Iphone doesn't have 24/7 battery life. DouchBag!!! And why the hell are you getting it wet. Do u want the screen to go dead!?

  • Oh boy let's get our iPhone wet and lose it in the sea. Hooray.

  • "who needs a compass, or anything else for that matter, lets just take our iphone and when it runs out of batteries (thats generously assuming your iphone has 100 percent 24/7 signal and doesnt crash) we can just... oh fuck.."

  • LMAO. Imagine sailing out with a bunch of pros and getting your iPhone out. They'd throw you right overboard.

    Thinking about it - do you need a signal to operate GPS on the iPhone? If so, you're just gonna be fucked.
