AIS via internet
In Response To: Now that it's available as an app, I'll probably get a version.

() http://www.marinetraffic.com has huge holes where their ground stations don't have coverage, or don't pick up class b AIS. It also has major delays that make it unsuitable for navigation.
It's for entertainment use it can get you in trouble if you rely on it.
