Want to map your dive? Want to navigate like a pro? Even if you are vision-impaired, this will empower you to navigate our underwater world.

The last few weeks have been rather intense, but so enjoyable, working on this project and completing the first underwater test which was a great success.

Yesterday evening was finally a time to chill-out and absorb the sense of achievement gained so far. Things have been moving so fast that there hasn't really been a great deal of time just to relax and take my foot off the gas. That I've just done my Solo Diver SDI course as well adds to the feeling of possiblity.

So now is a time to spend time with friends, ponder about sorting out the youtube video and getting up to speed on a video editor and let my mind wander through possible next directions for Mercator. It's a case of more paths and options than are needed for next stage so a low-pass filter needs to be applied! 

So prioritisation, balance of needs and careful consideration of what I want out of this project and also how I could include some of my closest friends in a colloborative effort for v2 or v3 is how the agenda looks.
