Bowditch Navigation provides reliable, high-performance marine navigation systems for ship pilots. In 2001, Raven acquired Starlink, Inc., a company that pioneered many GPS technologies, including developing the industry's first Beacon/DGPS receiver. Along with Raytheon Service Company and Capt. Joseph Bradley of The Pilot's Association for the Bay and River Delaware, Starlink developed the first GPS-based portable pilot unit in 1991. In 2017, Bowditch acquired the assets of the marine navigation business from Raven. Today, Bowditch Navigation continues to foster Starlink's rich tradition of developing innovative GPS solutions for applications worldwide.
