Constantly refreshing itself, you can click on the icons and see what ship it is, where it's headed, it's home country, speed, etc

That is cool. I was actually considering getting an AIS transmitter/receiver for my boat since I like to overnight offshore. This would allow me to see and be seen better than just radar. But at a grand, it's a hard item to budget for.

Like anything else, they will eventually come down in price. I have seen them as cheap as $700...

Found it while trying to find a way to smuggle stuff into the country.
Just kidding, someone posted it on another fishing site I frequent and I figured you guys would appreciate it.
