Start privately. Choose an exact-location publication delay of 0, 6, 24 or 72 hours. Turn off future API sharing whenever you need.
Use the connection that fits your vessel.
Internet + edge bridge
Read a Signal K snapshot or a canonical sensor report. The SQLite outbox retains uploads through outages and process restarts.
SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTEDMeshCore relay
Send compact, signed weather packets to a paired shore gateway. Start with a measured boat-to-shore field trial and appropriately configured radios.
RADIO FIELD TEST NEEDEDAIS met observations
Ingest DAC 1 / FI 31 and FI 21 type 0 broadcasts. Vessel weather transmission needs compatible approved equipment and specialist setup; a standard AIS position report is not a weather report.
EXISTING AIS INGESTIONA careful start, a useful pilot.
Contributor review checks authority to share and source provenance before public release. AIS broadcasts remain public over radio, and feed access alone does not grant redistribution rights. Start with a small local fleet and measure data quality, connectivity and skipper value.
