Nasa Marine AIS radar
Anibody has already tested this unit?
"The Nasa Marine AIS radar is the first stand alone AIS receiver / plotter specifically designed for the leisure boat market. The display, with ranges of 1,2,4,8,16 and 32 nautical miles shows AIS carrying vessels in a format normally associated with conventional radar. A trail of previous positions clearly chows the relative track of all the targets on the screen. A box to the right of the screen displays the speed over the ground, the vessel name, mmsi number and the latidude and longitude of any target selected by the user. The compact unit has a white backlit LCD display, operates from 12 volts and consumes little power. The Nasa Marine AIS Radar is easy to use and will br available later this season at a RRP of =A3259." =20 Thanks by any coments=20 Pascal |

Thanks Dave, good thing this blog.
I found that Si-Tex sell the NASA AIS radar and the Nasa AIS Engine with theyr Logo Mark. And more, they newer Color Gps Chart Plotters (Gps with 18 chanels) supoorts the NASA (Si-tex) AIS Engine and displays the ships in the C-Map Color Charts, exactly what I would like to have in my Garmin GpsMap276C. They are the first leisure Chart Ploters to support AIS, I think, but probaly in the hig end price class. Regards Pascal |

Dave,
I am not shure, but I have the impression that You told that you have a Garmin GpsMap276C too, it is correct? Remenbering what that unknow guy told, that all the DSC ready garmin gpsploter already have support to AIS, and as You have a NASA or other AIS receiver, could You make a test to see if the Map276C can receives the AIVDM message? Pheraps it has the function to plot the ships position based on the AIVDM message, buried into the DSC function. What You think? Regards pascal |

I doubt that it will work, and think that DSC is 9600 baud while AIS is 38400 baud, as well as using different protocols, but I may be able to check. My 276C is hard wired into my car at the moment, so I won't be checking for a while, but will try to remember next time I take the unit out for reloading of maps, etc. What "unknown" guys say doesn't usually give me much confidence - being an engineer I usually like to see some specs! :-) Dave The email address used for sending these postings is not valid.

Thank You Dave,
I know that this is improbable, but maybe garmin had put this covert function only for some selected guys to test it; the new release 3.20 included the setup NMEA speed (high speed/normal speed) but do not say what speed is... And if AIS and the NASA engine is having this fast and large aceptance, being selled by several others software and hardware makers, why not adopt it too, and make a litlle software/firmware modification to support it? And pheraps, sell it with garmin logo too, after a period of test? Best regards and thank you again. P.S. The link of the mac navigation software is: http://www.gpsnavx.com/ |

NMEA high speed (HS) is 38400 baud. Meindert |

Your panbo link is fantastic, I found this incredible software, wich
support AIS and the NASA engine, but is for Macs only, not for PCs. More incredible is the price: only US 50.00 ... Impressive list of features, like the MaxSea I could not believe. Pascal |
