Turns QGIS into a live maritime traffic console: connects to an AIS receiver
over USB/serial, a raw TCP stream or an internet feed, decodes !AIVDM/!AIVDO and
plots vessels live. Guard-zone alarms, route monitoring, coverage mapping, vessel
info and a history recorder; routes are drawn with the native QGIS tools and
Europe's waterways come from a built-in WFS. Requires pyserial and pyais (bundled).
