Our boat is used by several members of family. Ais is very useful for finding out where the boat is on Marine traffic. I suppose if someone stole the boat one might be able to find it that way also John Kratz Marker 10 Shem Creeek channel Charleston

If interested just for notification purposes, a much cheaper and just as reliable (as far as a family "notification" device is concerned) is to simply use the OnCourse app on a cell phone. It sends location data to MarineTraffic.com via cell phone with extremely low data usage. We have used it in the past in addition to the AIS when we're in areas (like parts of the ICW and certainly the inland rivers) with virtually no MT.com receiver coverage; the app does not interfere with or in any way duplicate the data received by MT.com via a standard receiver which then transmits the data to the MT.com online site. <><><><><><><><><><><><>Mozilla Thunderbird<><><><><><><><><><> Bob McLeran and Judy Young Manatee Cove Marina, Patrick AFB Florida Formerly cruising in MV Sanderling, a DeFever 41 Trawler which has been sold Blog: http://mvsanderling.net/Blog On 3/22/2021 10:59 AM, Kratz, John M. wrote: > Our boat is used by several members of family.
