A Welcome Tool
Since the last update, working much better. Very useful to confirm reports from other equipment, great to have handy when transiting ports and passes around Georgia Strait. I use it to check the speed and heading of large vessels reporting when entering narrow channels in and around Vancouver Harbour. Must be used as back up, shows MOST vessels MOST of the time using AIS, and doesnt show Seaplanes approaching or taxiing for take-off. Still, a welcome tool for an inexpensive visual display of data at the helm. Now using it every outing as a redundant measure of safety via iPad at the helm and iPhone on the docks, before pulling into the narrows and while underway. Because of the familiar interface, gets the kids involved on lookout too!
