Answer….
•
Clutter in high traffic areas makes a plotter with AIS unreadable.
•
The scale for a chart versus useful AIS viewing is often different.
•
WatchMate provides all AIS data at a glance.
•
Focus is on the most important targets.
•
Installation is simple, no interfacing and often no need for a
separate GPS antenna.
•
Others don’t have WatchMate’s sophisticated Alarms, Filtering, or
Multiple Profiles.
…. most chart plotters, and all laptops, will use way more power than a
WatchMate.
