Default AIS ship data: everibody have seen this? - why do we use GPSto track buoys??

Take notice of the subject line of this thread. Buoys clutter the chart and
provide a dangerous collision hazard on the water. We have put up with this
hazard for years because in the past we needed buoys. With the arrival of
GPS, they should be removed.

Ted,

That's not a buoy, its a daymark.
