Kaunakakai Harbor, Molakai, Hawaii

Daragh,
Sorry I am not quite clear. Do you want this boat displayed on the fleet map?

Elyse is anchored off the Royal Suva Yacht Club, Suva, Fiji
18 07.41S, 178 25.47E

Just a brief reminder to those updating their boats position by email:

1. If you are struggling to decimalise your lat long then if you go to the fleet map and hover your mouse where your boat should be then the lat long will be displayed on the screen in the correct format.
2. Don 't forget the important -ve in front of the Latitude to depict southern hemisphere and, similarly, -ve in front of the Longtitude to depict the western hemisphere.
3. email your message to report@marinetraffic.com
4. The email must be sent from the email account registered with Marinetraffic.com or else the position will not update.
5. It is easy to change your registered email address on the Marinetraffic website if you want to send from your satellite of SSB email account.

An example of a successful position post is pasted below. The email should be addressed to report@marinetraffic.com. The subject should be left blank and the body text should read:

MMSI=235027206
LAT=66.07319
LON=-023.12522
SPEED=0.0
COURSE=110
TIMESTAMP=2016-07-04 17:30

Hope this helps.

I update my yachts position automatically via Boat Beacon App and my understanding is that the locations for all AIS and App based locations go into a global database of boat positions. I have signed up for being added to the OCC map but not sure if you will pick up my position by this method although I should appear on Marinetraffic.

Let me know and if not will go to plan B.

Cheers

I agree, I have failed to get an MMSI no or download OnCourse the mAIS app.
It 's incomprehensible to a pensioner!!

David,
Do let me know if you want me to help you with the OnCourse app.

Thanks Simon. There seems to be something preventing my installing OnCourse on my Blackberry Passport. I will try again!! Mobile reporting seems like a good idea, we 're nearly always in cellphone range in SW Iberia.
