Why should I use SOB instead of other nav programs?
The nautical electronic navigation market has been been desperate for cheap/affordable, simple – yet powerful, nav software. Existing software is definitely priced and targeted to the top-end of the marine industry, it is generally expensive, difficult to use by all but PC power users, generally non-intuitive for novice (and even old-hand) navigators and many “obvious” tools and interfaces are lacking or non-existent. SOB, in comparison, has made this technology accessible to everyone with a PC and anyone with a boat… Drawing on 35 years of inland, coastal and ocean sailing with strong computer and advanced 3-dimensional geometry mathematics, weve produced a useful tool for everyone to use.
