iPhones

During our trip on Milestone, it was noticeable that Michael used his iPhone to navigate our way 500 miles, and not always in good conditions.  We had GPS on board and our professional sailor too had a set with him.
But it was the iPhone that guided us safely across the Pacific and along the Inland Sea.  The device says clearly that it is not to be used for navigation purposes and that it is for "entertainment" purposes only, but frankly it was a lot easier to use than the other devices.  A true wonder of technology that will get you to within 20 feet of where you're wanting to go.
