I think the way to do it would be that you have GPS run a update script to sync the devices. Surely the boat has a GPS, right? Or there's a GPS somewhere in the system.

So to refine the gp's question: surely there's a way to push an update or sync with a script that can do this based on GPS coordinates, right?

I would think a syncing mechanism would be a big help anyways since regardless of the reliability of the GPS script you're still going to be doing this, right?



I agree, need central control and the boat the obvious choice as would need to send out to all nodes to switch and make sure all have received, so would want any switching done with a delay (say in 5 minutes switch to region XYZ), so the mesh does its magic to get the message out.
