How can I use the data stream from an AIS receiver or transponder?

Many modern computer-based marine navigation software packages, such as Rose Point Coastal Explorer 2009 and Nobeltec Visual Navigation Suite 9.0 or higher, can be configured to interpret the incoming AIS data stream and convert the information into human readable information. These packages also support plotting nearby ships on digital charts and can show your position (via a separate GPS) in relation to the other vessels in the area that have AIS transponders. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
