ActiveCaptain Wrote:Absolutely. We have much integrated already and are working on a fully automated, cron-based back-end server to process LNTM as they are produced. Many of our hazard markers show some of this initial integration already.
So you have access to the USCG servers (part of Homeland Security, BTW) and you run a cron job on them, process the LNMs and then display them in some form on Active Captain Or did I misunderstand the phrase "Working with the Coast Guard".
I receive automatically on a weekly basis District 1, 3 and 7 LNMs as do many others in my profession. I don't characterize that as working with the Coast Guard, however.
