[snip interesting DNS story] It is showing some ships, now, thanks. I did get the map outline, just no ships. Presumably the map outline and the ship display are on the same server? I RTFM, after posting, of course :-) and the site designer explains that he receives signals up to, say, 35 miles away. In fact the North Channel is probably further than 35 miles from Liverpool, so some AIS signals are reaching his system from longer away than his FAQ suggests. But the site shows nothing on the 'atlantic gateway' along the top of the Irish coast, or up towards the Minch. Presumably, those areas are well beyond his system's capability. I wonder if there is any way for the site to develop to display all the traffic in the map areas that the site already contains? I'm interested because we live on the coast, and notice that many of the ships passing are bound for the North Channel, on their way to wherever they are going. And I've taken note of that DNS suggestion, thanks for that. ______________ best wishes, Ron |
