Hi everybody!
I have idea for a cheaper equivalent of the LifeTag system (Raymarine) or similar systems this type.
Raymarine LifeTag
I would like to be able to use iTag bluetooth 4.0 tags. One marker is about EUR 2 / item - in this case: EUR 2 / person.

How does should it
work:
Each crew
member wears a iTag marker during the trip. When person (marker) will too far from from the PC with
OpenCPN:
1.
OpenCPN ("iTag MOB" plugin) enables
ALARM
2. "iTag MOB" sets the
MOB marker (on the chart) in position ehere the yacht was at the time when contact with a man was
lost.
Cons: no
GPS - no actual
current MOB position
Advantages: cheapness,
alarm immediately after losing a man.
Does this make sense in Your opinion? Is it possible?
Unfortunately, I can't write a
plugin ... maybe someone can, and would like to do it?
