[ANN][ICO] BoatPilot - integrated marine Navigation Service with AR capabilites

[chaolang]

If anyone can make adjustments into your maps…how can I trust such maps?

[granathus]

I would also like to understand the competitive landscape. Is there competition to be expected from companies like Google or are there other (known) players in this niche?

[BoatPilot]

Greetings!

Are there any restrictions if I am from China?

No, for you there aren’t. You have no right and should not purchase NAVI tokens only in case you are a citizen, resident (tax or else) or green card holder of the United States of America.

Our platform will automatically integrate incoming edits from trusted sources, provide an interface for manual analysis and comparison of edits, and determine the degree of trust based on the history of the source's edits and social connections.
You can find more information in our Yellow Paper.

Google is not is not presented in the yacht navigation market yet, because it is a specific area. The three key players on the marine cartography market are Jeppesen (18%), Transas Marine (12%), and Navionics (8%). We have real advantages over them, because BoatPilot is the first integrated marine navigation service with augmented reality capabilities for private and commercial yachting markets. BoatPilot is completely free to all end users.


Kind regards,
BoatPilot team.

[DeeSome]

I ask a stupid question, but still. How will you collect profit? After all, the app is free, and you do not need to buy tokens for using it. Where can the dividends for the holders of tokens take?

[Abitcoinfuture]

I can translate your site and application into Italian, will I get tokens for this and how much?

[ruxun]

Im so impressed by what you doing guys, goodluck on your project, will track your updates

[TomKoinify]

I know that the program is free, but do you plan to make a VIP for those who want to use the application without annoying advertising.

[qberty]

I have sent an email to invest@boatpilot.io. When will I be added in a white list ?

Hi! Thanks for the questions!

No question is not stupid for us. We really appreciate your input. First of all, NAVI is going to become a very perspective and valuable cryptocurrency as we will use well thought-out and very effective token growth cost mechanism within the project for this aim. At second, BoatPilot will have a loyalty program that will be made available to users who maintain NAVI tokens in their e-wallets. Users will be rewarded with bonuses and gifts for retaining NAVI tokens in their wallets for a specified period of time. For example, a 25-50% discount to rent a yacht from our preferred vendors. For high quantity token holders, BoatPilot will arrange an exclusive luxury yacht once per year for a period of one week (with capacity for 5-6 people). And finally, you can get bonus up to 100%. Our bonus structure will benefit those who are among the first purchases NAVI tokens. The earlier you purchase the tokens, the greater your bonus will be.

There are no plans for additional paid features at the moment. But we can take up this question for consideration in case it appears frequently.

Do you already have vendors with whom you will cooperate in this field? Will you enter into cooperation with companies around the world?

[BoatPilot]

Hello!

Quick question, Is it the Russian team?

The team is international, and there are some Russians among them.

So, when will tokens be distributed?

Token will be issued on Ethereum blockchain (ERC20), and it will be available for transfer and trade almost right after the TGE.

By late 2017 we've signed agreements with an array of international companies and regional representatives, and will provide a full list of partners in January of 2018 via a respective press release. At the moment, we have contracts with North Sails, Sunreef Yachts, Hanse Yachts, Contest Yacht Zeeland. We also plan to sign several additional agreements during two industry shows – boot Düsseldorf and Dubai International Boat Show.


Kind regards,

What algorithm did you use to optimize your service for mobile devices, taking into account their limited productivity?

[ManOfKnight]

Hi everyone, hope this post is okay here. I've had a look at the roadmap and I'm excited by it!

[kkNft]

What are you going to do if the project is not successful? How will I get my money back?

[BoatPilot]

Greetings!

What algorithm did you use to optimize your service for mobile devices, taking into account their limited productivity?

Most data suppliers (for example, OSM) are bloated and lack optimal storage structures. Our algorithm will find and eliminate such redundancy, which in turn will cut the size of the database to a fifth. A key feature of our algorithm is its parallelization. It allows you to use MapReduce algorithms on a computing cluster. The software algorithm is
implemented via Python using ZeroMQ to distribute tasks throughout computing nodes. The common and open ESRI Shapefile is used as an output format, allowing
the results to be used not only on mobile devices, but in the vast majority of GIS packages.

What are you going to do if the project is not successful? How will I get my money back?

It will succeed, but if the Soft Cap is not reached during the TGE, all investments made will be returned to the investors.


Kind regards,
BoatPilot team.
