AIS

If you have an AIS Transponder or Receiver connected to your PC, Coastal Explorer will use it to display other vessels right on the chart and track their progress in real-time! It will even calculate whether or not you are on a collision course and tell you (on the screen and with a voice alert) how much time you have to change course.
