As an ex-seafarer I'm still interested in viewing AIS sites showing vessels locations, speed, destination etc.

Unfortunately these sites only supply plots of the vessels current position without a chart overlay.

So for the past week I've been experimenting with creating chart overlays above the AIS data.

Here's the result so far.

There are 4 regions covered and the chart overlays are svg files. You need to toggle between the the 'AIS Only' & 'Overlay SVG Charts' to select different ships and their tracks.

There is also a 'Reset View' button if you've zoomed the AIS display.

Just a fun project but comments welcome.
