Four Fathom Marine Technology

Other stuff I am doing. Some free, some commercial.

 


My Boat

 

NMEA / Networking / Virtual Serial Port Utilities

  • GpsGate - Very reasonably priced, provides Virtual Serial Ports, networking, GPS and AIS filtering, and Garmin USB protocol support (with this you can connect your Garmin handheld GPS to NavMonPc).
  • Siitech AIS Server - NMEA networking client/server program. Ais ServerLite is free. I use this and it has been very stable.
  • AIS Dispatcher - AIS networking program.

 

Charting and Display Programs

  • Expedition - Not cheap, but very powerful with excellent racing tools and weather routing capabilities. I use this on my boat
  • SeaClear - Free, basic charting, AIS
  • OpenCPN - Free, charting, open-source, AIS
  • CapCode - Free software suite for sailors, good race tools.

 

AIS Websites

  • MarineTraffic.com - Probably the best-connected worldwide AIS display website
  • HiDef-SF.com - San Francisco area AIS display, with AIS annotation of real-time webcam
  • AisHub.net - Send these folks your AIS feed, and get access to worldwide AIS data in real time
  • ITU Search for Ship Particulars - This will search the International Telecommunications Database
