iAIS app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: DigitalYacht Ltd.
First release : 26 Oct 2010
App size: 66.08 Mb
iAIS is a simple AIS target plotter and NMEA data instrument designed for use with the DigitalYacht iAIS WiFi receiver. AIS targets are plotted relative to iPhone/iPod/iPad position. Tapping on an AIS target displays details (i.e. speed, course, destination, type, length, etc.). GPS and Wind data can also be viewed on the Instrument panel.
You can also display the AIS targets over your Navionics charts. With a one off In App purchase, iAIS can use all your existing Navionics charts with no additional charges for the charts.
You can share your boats live position, speed and course and be visible on other free internet based AIS apps and web sites like BoatWatch and MarineTraffic if you have a valid MMSI number for your boat.
In the US you can obtain an MMSI number for your boat by visiting http://www.boatus.com/mmsi.
In the UK visit https://www.ofcom.org.uk/manage-your-licence or email us for an internet only MMSI number.
Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
NOT FOR NAVIGATION
iAIS should only be used for basic navigation reference and should not be solely relied upon to determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction.
Latest reviews of iAIS app for iPhone and iPad
I have a Kannad SafeLink R10 AIS Recovery System fitted to the lifejacket of the lonely man on the nightwatch. I can See the R10 on your App. It would be very good to have an alert, when the R10 (or any other AIS SART) is sending its special MOB code. Tank you. :-)
Need night colors /black screen and red targets/. Screen too bright at night. Need audio alarms for CPA, TCPA and "connection to AIS receiver lost".
Please turn the "use link" to on. This is a very well hidden function that needs to be on to work. Proximity alarms or collision course would make this great.
