Please don't regard him as an "expert"; he's getting quite old and thinks that "fadiddling fumble-putz" is a more accurate description.

    It’s regretable that the Northstar catalog makes no mention of AIS. Thusfar, there appears to be no pleasure boat radar/chartplotter that can display AIS data.

    I asked Northstar about AIS, and was told that it’s definitely coming to their plotter/radars. Furuno NavNet vx2 machines already plot AIS, and Raymarine just announced that both C and E Series will soon.
