See Who Else Is Sailing in the Area Around You
Why?
It’s fin to see who are also sailing in your area.
How?
An app that shows a map of your area with others (who are also using the app) showing their place on it. When you first launch the app, you will need to create a profile for yourself, and choose the size of area you are willing to share your location in (for safety reasons you might want not to share your sailing location with the whole world.)

Know Exactly Which App Is Using Your Location on iPhones
Why?
You can see when an app is using your location by the small arrowhead on the top bar of your iPhone’s screen. It’s hard to know exactly which app or apps are accessing your location at any given time.
How?
Have the arrowhead as a clickable object that when clicked, shows you which apps are currently accessing your location.

Don’t Miss the Deals That Are All Around You All The Time
Why?
There is a disconnect between when you usually get exposed to ads and when you actually need them. You might read about a deal at work in you an email. Maybe get it in the post at home. When you need it might be on the way home a week from now, and by then you won’t remember what it was, where you put it or how to use it.
How?
Use the smartphone or smart eyewear. It will show you what ads, deals and coupons you have around you. Point it in a direction and see all of them superimposed on the view (augmented reality). You can also scan the ads with the app and it will alert you when you are around the place advertising.
