GOST (Global Ocean Security Technologies) recently announced the release of a new app called  the GOST Tracker App. This allows boat owners to remotely monitor and control Nav-Tracker devices installed on their houseboat via a smartphone or tablet for extra peace of mind. The secure interface is simple to use and you can view a tracking history on Google Maps, which are embedded in the app.

Once you log in, the app will display a global map with icons marking the location of all the vessels you’re tracking. You can expand the details for each one, learning the most recent latitude/longitude, speed, heading, and whether the security system is armed or disarmed. An armed system will give you immediate notification if there’s any movement onboard, and for those with a full security system, it will of course notify you if an alarm is triggered.

“Since its release, the Nav-Tracker product line has been used to protect and recover thousands of vessels worldwide, as well as to provide onshore support for long distance cruisers and for a number of global fisheries management programs,” says Jay Keenan, president and CEO, GOST.
