Request for AIS info: - cyberhusky - April 1, 2007
I notice that AIS ships shown in MacENC/GPSNavX are always drawn in blue color, whether they are stationary or underway.
Wouldn't it be easier to have different colors for AIS ships? Like Blue stationary, orange for those underway and Red for highspeed ships like ferry boats? Or those with a speed >20 kts?
This way one wouldn't need to change between different status in the AIS menu?
I think this would be useful in high traffic regions too, where a glimpse at the screen with colored AIS ships shows more than having to check via right mouseclick or menu.

You can quickly look at an AIS targets velocity vector to see its speed.
