Receive, decode and plot live AIS vessel traffic from serial or TCP sources, with guard-zone alarms and coverage mapping.
AIS Watchkeeper turns QGIS into a live maritime traffic console. It
connects to an AIS receiver over USB/serial or a raw TCP stream, decodes
!AIVDM/!AIVDO sentences, and plots vessels live on the map.
What it does: live data, guard functions, route monitoring,
coverage monitoring, vessel information, and a history recorder.
Create your own routes and route points for route monitoring with the
native QGIS digitising tools. Europe's waterways are available through a
built-in WFS service.
