      Re: Shipping AIS And flight AIS tracking

      So for AIS tracking I use either:

      link text

      A site that has two tracks: free with paid upgrade
      (For my taste, the data density in Vesselfinder is a bit too high.
      I'm really not interested in real-time tracking of an anchor chain.)
      I would say anything that hasn't moved within an hour is standing still.

      or

      link text

      Under the "View" tab there should be a menu item called Marine Traffic.

      I'll see if I can get a bug fix pushed.

      (For my taste, the better equipped side. Has the potential to find out whether we can stack the yogurt cups in the harbor in 2 to 3 days.

      Und weil es mit Bild einfach schöner ist

        AIS (automatic identification system) is not “a fantastic weather system” as you state in your previous post. It just transmits the position of a ship to other ships, to stations along coastline and to satellites. This allows to some websites to give the information to everyone.
        I don’t see how this a way to tell about the weather. Of course you can see that ships don’t cross a hurricane zone. It’s like looking people with umbrellas to say it’s raining.
