All at sea with a Blackberry

[Aeolus]

My work just migrated me to a Blackberry - are there any apps that will run on a Blackberry that are useful on a boat?

And, on a Blackberry 9700, does anyone know how I can access the longitude & lattitude figures from the GPS?

About the only one I have found vaguely useful is Smap or Sanoodi.
I used if for logging the voyages etc.

Fairly accurate - you can Zoom in and see where we practised our M.O.B drills to save a wayward Beach Towel

It also will show a trail of repeated moves when you keep ballsing up your berthing though

A bit of a fiddle to bring across to Google Earth but workable.
I also use it for tracking Dog Walks etc etc.


Let me know if you need other info.

I too have struggled to find much I can put on it for fun that is relevant. (unlike IPhones / ITouches)

This one is meant to be good - sends an alarm to another phone by sms if you move too far when at anchor or simply sounds the alarm if you're on board. Follow this link http://www.myanchorwatch.com/Features/Overview.aspx

I am only an occasional Boatie on a works phone.
