Hi Holger,

Of course,I would prefer that Garmin put the std NMEA AIS receiver
support just now in all marine ploters , so that I can connect my
GpsMap 276C with a cheap $200 AIS receiver. But the delay appear to be
due that they probabily will make his own AIS Class B transponder to
make money with it. I want AIS on my chartploter, not on a PC/Laptop,
that is my problem. If not, I would already have AIS using the NASA
receiver and the free SeaClear software.

Regards

Pascal
