> I need to develop a navigation tool on an iPad

It will have to be an app with a server side, but using Gnoga it is possibl=
e.


> - Is it possible to have an Ada compiler for iOS?

Not currently realistic. The best we can hope for when it comes to GCC/GNAT=
 is someone redoing the work Marcus did and releasing as GMGPL the runtime =
for .NET then you can use the many tools to convert .NET to either real iOS=
 code or to ASM.js

If that ever happens I'll update Gnoga to work client side as well for ASM.=
js / .NET (A simple thing)

There is little point in trying to go direct to iOS with GCC/GNAT


> - Is it possible to use GNOGA for drawing instruments, like a compass, on=
 an iPad screen ?

Yes

What you do is create an application using PhoneGAP using a Gnoga boot.html=
 pointing back to your Gnoga app's server IP/URL. Then you can use HTML5 Ca=
nvas or any other HTML/JS method to do the drawing. The PhoneGAP JS API wil=
l give you access to the location data, etc. which you can access from the =
server side using Gnoga.
