Yes please how about an October update to the April update or has the project been cancelled?

Project is not cancelled - early closed beta testing underway - see http://www.tarbat.gofreeserve.com/radarbox.htm

We have great news today. Stby a few hours. :-)
This project will be a tremendous success.

I'm sure Airnav won't mind me posting a screenshot of very early closed beta testing. ShipTrax is looking very impressive, even at this early stage - so much more user-friendly than ShipPlotter!! And my favourite ship is on-screen - the Pentalina.

Wow, Nice ScreenShot Tarbat ;)

Very impressive screen shot! Too bad I'm in a land lock area. Very interesting to see the binocular icon present. Does this represent what I think it does? If so it's something I've been asking AirNav Dev team to include in aircraft tracking software. That and a 'heard' icon.

Living in land won't be a problem, as there will be a data sharing network just like that one used for Radarbox - but ships instead of aircraft :-)

Yes but what about the hardware?

It tells you that there's a ship photo available.

Not quite sure how that will work. The RadarBox hardware is needed for the program to run as it acts as a hardware 'dongle' to prevent the sharing of user names and passwords. I'm sure that I read a while ago that there would be a number of hardware/software options, but things will have moved on from their.

I have the 'AIS Engine receiver although it doesn't get much use as I'm a long way from the coast. I'll be tempted to go with the whole AirNav hardware/software option when it's released, as the receiver specification sounds far superior to the AIS engine - including dual frequency receive.

A Quick Question,
The Shiptrax Network, Is It Likely To Be Live and not 5 mins delayed?
I wouldent think there is any legal reasons for tracking ships?
Could anyone shed any light on this subject please?
Many Thanks John

My guess is that there won't be a need for the 5 minute delay - although would you really notice the difference at 15 Knts - lol
