Thank you to all who share AIS and ADS-B data with us. It is very much appreciated.
Sharing ADS-B Data
Note - Our all new 3D sharing client is available here: planefinder.net/sharing
Plane Finder relies on data from aviation enthusiast base stations around the world.
We have invested in server equipment that makes sharing with us easy.
If you have a base station of any type and want to see your data on Plane Finder please follow the link above. Alternatively contact us and we'll respond straight away.
Please don't forget to ask us for free apps if you share too!
Sharing AIS Data
Ship Finder relies on data from enthusiast owned and professional base stations around the world.
We have invested in server equipment that makes sharing with us easy.
If you have a base station and want to see your data on Ship Finder please contact us as we'll send you simple instructions on how to do this.
Please note that we do not use data shared via the internet sharing facility built into Ship Plotter software as this is against the terms of the license agreement and also would not be fair on those sharing the data just for use within the Ship Plotter community.
Instructions
Our preferred method is to connect using COAA's Ship Plotter software. If you don't use it you can get it here
We suggest you use the free trial first to make sure you are happy with the results.
Once it's set up go to goto Options-->Sharing-->Setup and fill in as per the image below.
Then just let us know you've done it so that we can set up the new feed within Ship Finder.
Alternatively we can also receive your AIS data direct by sending it to us over TCP/IP.
AIS data needs to be sent to ais.shipfinder.co.uk 4001 (UDP or TCP). (IP Address is 185.77.98.241).
If you need some software to help please take a look here.
It's not essential but we'd appreciate it if you tell us too so that we know whose data we are using.
If you have any questions, need more info, or need help on any of the above then please don't hesitate to contact us and we'll do our best to help.
