KEY FEATURES
iAIS application is a simple free AIS app for iPhones and iPad. It is a target plotter designed for use with Digital Yachts iAIS Wi-Fi receiver or any of our other Wireless NMEA products if they are connected to an AIS system. iAIS is a fun and interesting App for anyone onboard a boat fitted with one of our Wireless AIS systems, allowing other vessels to be seen, tracked, and identified.
A new version of Digital Yacht’s iAIS app is also now available that supports a background layer of charting utilizing the popular and detailed Navionics charts. What’s more, there’s no requirement to re-purchase charts as long as you have a current Navionics subscription and app on the iOS device. You can enable the Navionics charting layer with a low-cost in-app purchase.
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.).
iAIS is also useful for testing a wireless NMEA system as it can show the transmission of raw wireless NMEA data (either TCP or UDP data packets) by the wireless server.
You can watch this video to understand how to set up the app.
