AIS data (Barentswatch)

Live Norwegian AIS positions are polled every minute. Coverage is currently Norwegian waters only.

Show AIS vessels within (nm) of destination

nm — set to 0 to show all. Vessels, installations and obstructions from CSV are always visible regardless of distance.

Also load AIS vessels around aircraft position

Polls Barentswatch for vessels within the radius below of the current GPS position, in addition to the destination-based feed. Loading a large area can pull in many vessels and the system may run slow.
