1/ Wie hat man ab dem 13. Jh. mit den Sternen navigiert? Hierzu benutzte man z. B. den #Jakobsstab. Damit konnte man den eigenen #Breitengrad auf der Erde bestimmen. Ein entsprechendes Experiment ist im Technikmuseum in #Berlin aufgebaut. Im Hintergrund sind #Sterne zum Anpeilen. #Navigation

Any of you Map/Chart/Hacker folks know if anyone has cracked the encryption on the charts that go through o-charts.org?
I am asking as someone who has paid, but they are so utterly painful to use in their stupid encrypted format, especially if you ever dare to change anything about your hardware, that they are essentially unusable. People use them on a boat, people drop their Chromebooks into a bilge full of horror - Shit like this shouldn't be wholly dependent on a systemid!
Deutsche Start-ups wollen in den Weltraum
Etwas unbemerkt hat sich hierzulande eine Branche entwickelt, die sich anschickt, den etablierten Raumfahrt-Nationen Konkurrenz zu machen. Das All gilt als Zukunftsbranche - Deutschland ist vorne dabei. Von Michael Houben.
Video: CoMaps – Freie Karten-App für Android-Geräte
Ich bin immer auf der Suche nach Freien Alternativen zu Google-Diensten, besonders wenn es um so zentrale Funktionen wie Karten und Navigation geht. Kürzlich bin ich auf die App CoMaps gestoßen, die ich euch heute vorstellen möchte.

Wo liegen deiner Meinung nach die Vorteile gegenüber Organic Maps, dass ich beim Taxifahren regelmäßig einsetze?
Not only dung beetles navigate with the stars: also some moths!

One of the most pitiful things in the world, while traveling by road, is when your navigation system recalculates your route while you are sitting down on the throne. Turn left! Back on 94! Oh my god! Wrong way! What’s happening!!! #travel #navigation #SillyGoosePatrol #today
19.000 Kilometer dichter dran: US-Startup will GPS-Alternative liefern
Das US-Startup Xona Space Systems plant eine erdnahe GPS-Alternative. 258 Satelliten sollen präzisere und störungsresistentere Navigationsdaten liefern.
"Each spring, billions of Bogong moths (Agrotis infusa) migrate hundreds of kilometres south to the Australian Alps, guided by the austral night sky. The discovery that they can find their way using only the stars — reported in an 18 June Nature paper — makes this moth the first invertebrate to be observed using celestial navigation for long-distance journeys."

Lithuania's Transport Minister Eugenijus Sabutis:
"This [russiaan GPS interference] didn't start two or three years ago – it's been happening constantly, to varying degrees."
Eight times in 3½ hours a boat crashed into me while I was tied up along the shore.
I have just moved the boat forward, leap-frogging two boats.
And in the process I myself hit 2 boats — inevitable, unfortunately, but I was unwilling to continue being crashed into by people for whom the wind is somehow a surprise.
Six boats have crashed into me in the past 3 hours, scraping and bouncing all the way down the length of the boat. The wind is too strong for occasional- and hire-boaters but it doesn't stop them, so they get blown into me as they clear the trees.
I want to move but the strong wind also means I cannot move the boat. There are 2 boats immediately ahead of me and I could never clear them.
Hi! If you're like me and you enjoy creating websites or need one, I invite you to try Hostinger — it's a great service.
