Hi Graeme,
On receiving the AIS data about half of the messages at my location come
from fixed location beacons that ships are able to receive and then plot
the positions on their display along with their GPS position and the
positions of other vessels. They are then able to navigate with greater
safety knowing what is around them. These fixed location beacons I feel
should be also permanently marked on the OSM so that weekend sailors can
use the OSM with more information available. I presume that these
beacons consist of a pile or buoy fitted with a solar panel, battery and
VHF transmitter with software to control the transmission. They are of
course situated in suitable locations to assist with navigation.
Hope this helps - Arthur

Hi,
I would like to use the position data received from Automatic
Identification System (AIS) messages that are used for
navigational aids for marine ships to plot the position of these
piles on the OSM but I am not sure if this would be copy right
information?
What are you actually wanting to map, Arthur?
Anchorages, nav aids, what?
Thanks
Graeme
