Another piece of boat kit for you here. The new Garmin AIS 300 is a black box receiver that enables wireless monitoring of other boats equipped with Class A and Class B Automatic Identification System. Used on a boat for collision avoidance as well as recreational entertainment, the AIS 300 is the first AIS receiver with NMEA 2000 support, making installation and integration into an existing system quick and easy. At well under £400, this receive-only unit offers an affordable solution for boaters who want to listen to AIS traffic from both commercial and leisure vessels. Suitable for 12-volt and 24-volt systems, it enables the boat’s chart plotter to display detailed information, including ship identification data, position, course and speed for vessels, with heading lines from each target in its direction of travel and graphic representation of turn direction and rate of turn.
