A lot of cool computer stuff out there for boats and sailboats.  I have a new VHF radio that has AIS.  ( Automatic Identification System)  it polls to see what other ships/boats are out there.  Gets  a bunch of info from them.  Lat/Lon, speed, heading,name,size,destination.  Passes the info to my chart plotter which displays the ships as a icons on its screen. so I can see all that's around me.   The chart plotter then plots all the targets courses to determine danger of collision.  If so it will give me another heading to avoid the ship.  Will alarm and flash when I get within 1000 yards.   I can also select the ship on the screen and key the mic and only talk to that ship that I selected.  ( digital selective calling). Cool stuff.
