[Xastir] ADS-B (planes)

[Neill Thornton]

Sorry, I should have clarified.  The AIS receiver outputs NMEA, we just use OpenCPN to multiplex it with lots of other NMEA data such as GPS location, gyro headings, roll/pitch data, etc that comes from other discrete devices.  It also allows us to transport that combined serial data over IP to clients.

You could certainly take the NMEA sentences directly from the AIS receiver, a serial port stream, with no OpenCPN required.

I don't know of any AIS receiver that outputs a "raw" data stream that is worth anything.  Almost all receivers output NMEA.  This page talks about the sentences: http://www.bosunsmate.org/ais/

I'd prefer Xastir to understand the incoming data and not have to run
OpenCPN or something else in the middle.
