2009-12-08	www.vesseltracker.com	Layar A whole new type of application for mobile phones has been introduced by "Layar". Layar is brand new but spreading rapidly. According to Layar, "We are contributing the first maritime application: For Iphones and other mobiles using the Android operating system we have programmed an interface that converts the phone into a kind of pocket radar. Within a radius of about 3 miles vessels can be identified and their details are displayed automatically. Prerequisites: Your phone needs to have GPS, a compass and a camera on board. You can download the application for free at http://www.layar.com."
2009-12-05		At last - two website developments. As you can see, since you are here, we have activated the 'headline' news page and linked it to our index of facilities; also, we have implemented the password-protected lockbox where we will be storing the many reports and other controlled-access materials for our subscribers.
2010-05-06	www.caclase.co.uk	SeaCross radars Thanks to JC Wise for drawing our attention to a new entry in the civil marine navigation radar market, C A Clase, based in the UK. Their product line appears to be based on Koden-manufactured systems, rather than any 'in-house' designs.

This manufacturer is not yet in the MNR Handbook, but the source files are available here.
2010-05-31	www.emforensics.com	SI-Tex: Our catalog of SI-Tex documents is now largely completed, and may be accessed here. Subscriber-accessible behavioral studies of T-195 and T-295 systems are available here.
