<div>Aye Captain;</div>Indeed Spring is around the corner here on the North Coast, and the surf will turn from hard to liquid shortly. I would hope it would not only display knots, but AIS targets (a hack of the friends tracker code perhaps), and ENC charts which are free as in beer. (Well, our tax dollars pay for them). That would just be a killer implementation worthy of a dvd all by itself. <div>

for historical perspective just to note that (like it or not) knots is<br>
the native units of NMEA velocity data and traditional navigation.<br>
<br>
whereas the "N" of NMEA stands for National (ie USA; owner of the sats)<br>
whereas the "M" of NMEA stands for Marine (where knots is still king<br>
worldwide)<br>
<br>
now we aren't parsing NMEA anymore, so we are not as tied to knots.<br>
