Ship Finder for the iPad

And that’s exactly what Ship Finder HD does. It uses AIS coverage from across the globe to position ships on maps. Lee Armstrong of pinkfroot, a small iPhone OS development house, was kind enough to share this video showing Ship Finder HD in action. He writes. “[T]he new iPad’s form factor enables the app to be much more functional for just the casual user and the professional mariner.”

Oh Baby:  Do you think I can talk Trish into this as a business expense.

(Ed. note:  This isn’t really doable for the Professional Mariner as it’s a web feed and not real time data..  I actually have the same info on my iPhone.)

    Very cool app. Thanks for the tip. I’ve downloaded to iPhone, but I agree with Tim. It doesn’t help my iPad resistance.
