which gps app can do this?

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Hello, Lanzo. In which area will your boat be navigating? I mean, which coast are you talking about? It should be easy to get a reasonably good shapefile of that shoreline and you would be permanently informed of the distance to the nearest vertex.
 
Regards,
Juan Lucas

		gvSIG Mobile 0.1.4 was released today, here's a guide that should help you:

		Create a shapefile of your coast line (or download a shapefile for a
		country) and you should be good to go.
