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.

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.
