[It’s time for yet another version upgrade of Navionics’ award-winning iPhone applet. Having resisted temptation, thus far, when it comes to hopping on the iPhone bandwagon, I’m in no position to review this new software authoritatively. But I do know that it earlier versions enjoy a very good reputation with people I respect. Let’s see what we can learn from the press release.
