AirNav Development:
One more ShipTrax Screen Shot. Enjoy! As always suggestions welcome.

Roadrunner:
This new shot shows at the bottom - Hardware connected. With Radar Box you cant operate it without the hardware connected. Does this mean, despite what was said earlier, that some hardware will be required to be running alongside the software?.
Peter:
Yes, like the concept and look forward to the release. I've never seen the term "motoring" though, what does this mean as far as the ship's progress is concerned please? I can see "sailing", "Anchored", "moored" which are all self explanatory, is this term taken straight from the AIS signal terminology?
The only other concern at present would be something to prevent "overlap" of labels, I can see movements in the dock obscured from view by labels at certain times. On the other hand I like all the information that is being displayed so guess a switch to either turn them off, or perhaps just select skeleton information should that be a problem.
I assume that the table can be switched off or on to allow full screen viewing if desired?
Well done to the ShipTrax delevopment team.

AirNav Development:
- Motoring is technical AIS term for when a ship is navigating under own motor power. What do you suggest as an alternative? Sialing?
- Overlap of labels is automatically done. This is a feature AirNav Systems developed a few years ago and present on all our programs.
- The table can be easily switched on and off just like in RadarBox.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Peter:
If that is the technical AIS terminology, "motoring" is fine by me. An alternative would be "under way". We have a few "Thames Barges" sailing as pleasure craft in this area and they are fitted with AIS. They come up as "sailing" which is correct and immediatly shows you the difference between "sail driven" and "engine powered".
Cheers
Peter
