Patent Abstract:
This invention relates to a method and an associated system for providing navigational assistance to marine wayfarers. More particularly, this invention relates to a method and associated system for assisting marine travelers in planning routes between trip start points and trip end points. Well-known services exist for providing automobile drivers, via the global computer network known as the Internet, with road maps and even recommended routes for travel over highways and roads from a start address to a destination address. Boat users, however, have not been privy to such a service. There is a need for such a service, namely, an Internet-mediated navigation assistance service that provides waterway travelers with marine maps and recommended routes between trip start points and trip end points.
Gaspare Marturano, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said, "NavQuest.com continues to receive glowing reviews from boaters and water enthusiasts from around the globe. Our online service gives users of every level a new and exciting tool for marine navigation, which was not easily available before the launch of NavQuest.com."
