Deckman controlled through Iphone

Iphone can now control your Deckman tactical software through a wifi link. Based on an open VNC/remote desktop connection which I have customised to suit the purpose and speed up the connection you can now control the software from your Iphone. Your basically use your Iphone as the external/remote screen and control. It works well and with the usual zoom action from Iphone user interface. Even though the screen is small it is remarkably well to use. I'm still tweaking the system to reduce the time lag when the iphone refreshes the screen but commands, like pinging the starting marks, all work instant with no time delay. See the video to see all the features.
