Anyone know anything about this new unit? Seems to include integrated gps
and ais in one antenna and receiver.

If you want everything in one unit and the electronics opposed to bad weather and pickpockets, it looks like a great unit. But at the price you get two receivers for internal installation.

But at that price, you save on cable and installation cost (if you have it
done for you). And in many cases that counts...

They're all pickin' it for every Euro they can bleed out of it. I looked
at Yacht-AIS website and they even want you to pay for a null modem
software in addition to the virtual serial port software, both of which are
free in lots of places on the net.

Now we need to get some of the net's open source gurus interested in AIS.
They've really scrammed the greed with stuff like FLAC for lossless music,
not to mention the DivX crack...(c;

Yeah yeah.....
So how long will it take before people want open-source bread and butter,
and want to have their employers pay them an "open-source salary"......
