Charting New Territory: iNav4u Develops First A.I. Powered Primary Navigation System for Boats

Halifax, Nova Scotia – iNav4u, manufacturer of advanced marine electronics systems, is pleased to announce the release of Wayfinder, the world’s first primary navigational system for boats.

“The future of marine electronics is here, a single smart primary navigational system to interact with everything and everyone on a boat in a smart meaningful way,” says iNav4u CEO Olivier Hendrikx. “Wayfinder does this by acting as a marine vessel’s onboard computer recording and computing sensor data, performance, condition and communications while underway.”

Wayfinder is an automated situational awareness system which actively and continuously monitors data coming from a boat’s existing onboard electronic instruments or multifunctional display and combines it with artificial intelligence (AI).

The Wayfinder system sends real-time notifications, alerts, and alarms to any compatible smart device, phone, monitor or on-board touch screen or display.

Leading companies in the marine electronics market including Raymarine, Navico, Garmin, and Furuno offer marine instruments and multifunctional displays that show data such as wind speed, speed through water, water depth etc. However, the data displayed on these instruments must still be interpreted by the end-user, leaving a potential significant margin of error.

The Wayfinder system, modelled on modern aircraft flight systems, gathers and computes data into meaningful information with real-time notifications, alerts, alarms, voice prompts, and suggestions for course of action or improvement. Wayfinder is the enterprise application for boats. One single system to monitor everything on your boat at a glance.

By removing the human error factor iNav4u’s Wayfinder is making boating smarter, safer and simpler for captains and crew so they can spend more time enjoying the experience and less time watching and monitoring for worrisome changes in conditions.

“The Wayfinder system will be a gamechanger,” adds Hendrikx. “It will become the new standard onboard all marine vessels. It’s what we strive for - smart, simple, and safe.”
