The problem with most Nav apps is all the screen realestate they waste. The example screen shot you linked is a perfect example of that. Look at all that "dead" area that could be used by the chart - the most important thing.
Scaling the AIS targets to actual size only makes sense when the zoom is at 100%. Imagine if zoom is 25%, the targets would be so small on a large scale chart.
GPSNavX does draw AIS targets that are less than 200' at 1/2 size as normal targets. Also keep in mind many targets do not provide length info. Why does one care what the MMSI is?
