Open Blog on Digital-Seas

Hanging out in Nürnberg with the developers of OpenSeaMap project,who just imported hundreds of ports into their DB. http://bit.ly/3JWZOI

we have done a bit of sorting in our new AIS sources from Africa, Asia and Europe and created new pages for the real time view with Fleetmon:
new regions are now online:

Just increased the Maximum vessel results to 500. Please give Performance Feedback…

statistics: we crossed the 9.000 permanent tracked vessels this month,  almost 90.000 vessels in the database, 16.000 vessels with images…

going for a mindopen dive now:

[+] added new page: My Vessel List (list of monitored vessels)
[*] changed vessel lists + vessel thumbnails to new option of monitoring

[+] added new page: My Ship Finder (visualizing SP XML files)
[+] added new page: Uploads Timeline (all image uploads browsable)

[+] added new Tutorials in the FAQ section (you can listen to Lars voice in the iPhone demo:-)
[+] created new Page explaining DynDNS in the FAQ section

[+] API extensions for Fleetmon :mobile for zone alerts

[*] reaching milestone 2/3  in Fleetmon V2 development

[?] did you try the sitewide search lately ?

We just finished (after parents’ evening) the very helpful feature: My Vessel List
Keep vessels of interest in a central place for a very handy overview. We think you will love it and realize the potential… The list will make it for sure also into the Fleetmon client and into the iPhone version, so you will be up to date at any place. All vessel image thumbnails will now host an option to add the vessel to your list. Have fun with adding and removing :-)

Looking forward to here your feedback.

Live Tests with iPhone in Hamburg. Just Crossing Blohm and Voss Docks. Port is real Time covered.

Users frequently ask about a way to transfer XML files of their ShipPlotter installation back and forth with us. We created a quick way to visualize these files and after using it for a while we will share it with you. Go and grab the widget for use in your site.
This is also a nice test for the rendering engine of the upcoming Fleetmon Version 2.0. So check out the performance and discover another great feature already built into this interface:
recall of the vessels 3 month history track in blasting speed !

Please test here the SP XML visualizer

We went to Hamburg this week for exhibiting our Fleetmon software on Europas biggest fair for the Cruise Ship business.  The Seatrade 2009 had 250 companies from around 50 contries showing their services.
Also our iPhone App Fleetmon :mobile had lots of interest. Owners, Agents and suppliers love to have informations available on the road about the journey of a vessel. We had talks to people from all over the world. Seatrade is a nice international fair and meeting place of  people in the Cruise, Ferry, Rivercruise and Superyacht industries.
As a result of our presentation all users of Digital-Seas can look forward to the extensions of new AIS covered destinations in the world.
