Ooh Boy, this update marked the biggest effort since the release of Fleetmon :mobile in Fall 2009. Make sure you set the right login data inside the iPhone settings to relish the brand new “My Fleet” function inside the app. We also started with a new Gallery feauture inside Fleetmon to show all this great vessel images in the best possible quality. The open Digital-Seas community is growing fast. Enjoy perfect ship images, real time vessel tracking and live ship reports. Take part at our community forum. With access to more then 60.000 unique vessel images, live coverage of over 20.000 vessels and a ship database with more then 120.00 records, Fleetmon is the fastest and feature richest App in the Store.

General: ✔ testet with iOS 4.3 on iPhone and iPad, ✔ local image cache for reducing the data volume of transmission ✔ new server for optimizing image resolution of various end-devices ✔ implementing functional authentification against digital-seas
✔ adoption to multitasking and memory available, saving all task states ✔ new APIs for all services, new servers (of course… :-)
• free Account on Digital-Seas Website needed, to make use of “My Fleet” and live tracking functions
We had 70% of our net-traffic due to scraping the content trough available interface-ports, so we decided to introduce a scheme of authentification. We expect discussions here, but there seems to be no other smart way solving the issue of dealing with servers under heavy load. In the end we have to secure our fair users and support them with a stable service. There is a good place inside the forum to discuss this topic: http://www.fleetmon.com/community/forum/

The German technical yachting magazine Palstek reviews Mac, iPhone and iPad software for yachtsmen in its current and forthcoming issues. The review is refreshingly critical – not every “i” software makes sense, but some tools are found to be really useful. So is our own Fleetmon mobile. Worth a read!
New version is available from today on! Checkout the new List and Port section. We’ve put a lot of work into even better performance and usability. Multitasking is now supported and all settings are right there, when you restart the app. It should be a pleasure to use it on a regular basis.

We want to deliver the best Vessel tracking app on the market. One app for all of your devices, no hidden payments, perfect performance, smooth even on older devices, large coverage with almost no delay, optimized for fast daily use, that is Fleetmon :mobile.
mods in v1.4: ✔ new list function, select your viewport first and list only active vessels inside (berth, port entries, area monitoring), automatically updates of course! ✔ complete support for the iOS 4.2 multitasking options on iPhone und iPad, just continue, where you stopped working the last time
✔ now with manual update button in vessels detail view (keep your loved ship selected) ✔ save current port (Ports) with update option ✔ better usability and performance, also while updating ✔ color corrections for better readability, new artwork :-) ✔ no limits for fast devices, measuring iPad und iPhone (now radius 50sm <= 500 vessels)
Our vessel tracking app “Fleetmon mobile” today got selected by Apple as a highlight, featuring it at the startpages of the iTunes AppStore. That is a nice result for the hard work on this software and the efforts to give you the really best in mobile vessel search and ship traffic monitoring.
we spend quiet some time on the complete rewrite of Fleetmon :mobile for the iPhone and iPad over the last month. During development of the client we also changed the database schemata to decrease the delay of position info down to 2secs and opened an API for most of the services. We believe there is no other software available for mobile devices, which shows more current information of vessel positions and better images :-) (thanks to the help of all of you!) Yes, the improvements will be visible on the DS platform also and especcially in the new Version 2 of Fleetmon, coming soon.

Late last week we put the finishing touches to a very special project we’ve been wanting to share with you for a while now. After many weeks of burning the midnight oil at JAKOTAs ofice in an effort to squeeze into it every drop of spotting goodness, we’ve finally completed work on the Fleetmon mobile app for the iPhone and sent it over to the nice people at Apple. And now guess what, we are talking about this not as a rumour, but an approved application in the Apple Store. So get your iPhone connected, or fire up iTunes and take a look yourself…
We thought it might be nice to show you a video of what we’ve built so far for you (still in the works, as of my writing…).
We are very excited about our new piece of software for mobile Phones called MobTrack.
It could well support us shipspotters by tracking locations and store positions right into our images.
Putting it on your mobile will give you the opportunity to show your live movements on a web-Page. And when I say live, I mean real-live (ok 3 sec delay between sending and showing). We set up a page to demonstrate the functionality and to download the software for JAVA phones. Free for all, the DS principle. For the time of Beta-Testing I will also show my tracks to everyone, after that phase, we will introduce buddylists. See and try it: www.digital-seas.com/mob
