What is AIS Radar?
AIS Radar is an app that displays AIS data received from marine AIS transponders/receivers over a WiFi network. It can also display AIS data received from public internet AIS feeds. The app provides a radar PPI-like display of AIS targets with course/heading and speed information, computes closest point of approach (CPA) and time to closest point of approach (TCPA) for AIS targets, and warns if the CPA or TCPA of another vessel is below a specified minimum. It also has different radar display modes, list and detail views for AIS targets, and a viewer for AIS safety-related broadcast messages.
1. AIS Radar displays AIS (Automatic Identification System) data received from marine AIS transponders/receivers such as the ExNC 101, Weatherdock easyAIS or Digital Yacht, over a WiFi network.
2. * Radar PPI-like display of AIS targets with course/heading and speed information.
3. For AIS devices without built-in WiFi support, an external serial-to-WiFi adapter such as the SEAMate1A® Lite, the Brookhouse iMux, the Roving Networks RN-370 or the Digi Connect® Wi-SP can be used.
4. * Tap to select targets, double-tap to display detailed information about selected targets.
5. Alternatively, the application can display AIS data received from public internet AIS feeds such as the San Francisco Exploratorium.
6. * List and detail views for AIS targets, displaying all available information about a target in clear form.
7. IMPORTANT: Please note that you will need to have an AIS transponder or receiver device capable of sending AIS data over a WiFi connection.
8. * Symbols for different targets (vessels with AIS class A and class B transponders, SAR aircraft and navigation aids).
9. * Computes closest point of approach (CPA) and time to closest point of approach (TCPA) for AIS targets.
10. * Optionally hide slow moving (or non-moving) targets from Radar view.
11. * Different radar display modes: Heading Up, Course Up and North Up.
