	Good morning all Quick question, and I'm pretty sure of the answer, just wanted to check. Can SOL be played on an iphone?

	I'm afraid not Baggus at least not at this time. The race window is completely flash based and support for this on IOS devices is lacking. We have not had the time or resources to develop a custom version for this so far. Greetings Jeroen I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	Thanks for that Jeroen - you just saved me a few $$$$

	It is possible. I'm using my iPhone to connect remotely to my laptop through a free download called TeamViewer. This way you can control your boat from your iPhone across WIFI/3G access points. The setup is quite easy. All you have to do is leave your PC running when you leave home.
Posted by BER_Baggus Posts 70 Registered at 2008-12-26 18:46:10	2011-10-22 01:45:16 - Re: iPhone
	I will try that from my HTC - it has flash but is virtually impossible to control your boat. Not that anyone would notice with my courses. I use logmein, which has a free trial period.

	I have managed to find a working solution to use the native SOL interface on the iphone. Install a browser app call Puffin, which is only 99c in the AppStore. Using that you can login, view and make changes to your boat. You can zoom in and out, look at the weather forcast and plot courses by touching the screen. One of the icons at the bottom will allow you to switch to 'drag' mode so you can move around the chart or the 'keyboard' mode so you can enter data. It works really well on both the iPhone and iPad, and has now allowed me to leave the house for longer periods when races are on! Richard

	Will this work without your laptop/PC being turned on at home?
Posted by BER_Baggus Posts 70 Registered at 2008-12-26 18:46:10	2011-11-09 02:49:27 - Re: iPhone
	Doesn't look like it works on Android.
Posted by evolution Posts 21 Registered at 2007-12-23 22:27:02	2011-11-09 03:35:35 - Re: iPhone
	Yes it is stand alone. Just watch you data useage if you are not on wifi as it reloads just like the normal browser. I am not an android user so do not know of the best solution for that, sorry.

	I can confirm that the Puffin browser app works exceptionally well with the SOL/iPhone combination. Thanks to TuuleTallaja who found this link to the download: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/puffin-web-browser/id406239138?

Just before the light failed entirely in Antarctica, Skip Novak managed to get his Pelagic 77 out of the ice and north up the Pacific to Kamchatsky. The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
