I wrote about this in May, and after I had spent some time with the options I discovered, I came away underwhelmed. Here’s my big question for anyone out there: Has anyone gotten cTide or NavStation to run on a Windows Mobile 6 device?
Anyway, I was glad to see that somebody else has given this worthwhile topic a more thorough going-over. Karen and Jeffrey Siegel have published an article entitled “Tides and Currents on a Mobile Phone”, over at MadMariner.com.
If you’re not a MadMariner subscriber (and why-ever would you not be, forsooth?), you better read the article soon, before it slips behind the subscribers-only firewall!

Hey Tim – I ran both cTide and NavStation on my WM 6.0 devices. cTide takes a VERY long time to start up. There’s something odd going on with it. Once it’s running, it’s pretty good.
NavStation has come a long way in the last year. Many more of the integrated small applications are working. Tides works pretty well.
Thanks, Jeff. That’s helpful, because it means I’m doing something wrong! I couldn’t get either one to run.
And for the iPhone 3G, iNavX should be available Real Soon Now.
