AIS stands for Automatic Identification system and was originally designed as an anti collision system for commercial shipping.
It detects any commercial ships within a 400+ square Mile area surrounding your position and warns you of their presence.
It tells you their current GPS position, speed and course, so you can take action to avoid a possible collision.
The data are updated Automatically every few seconds.
