T&T: AIS

[Rip Tyler]

Snip: you will also need an older PC that still has a serial port

Not exactly (though the solution ain't cheap) - I use a ShipModul
MiniPlex-42BT NMEA Multiplexer that sends the signal to my E120 via NMEA
0183 and sends the signal via BT to my laptop running Offshore Navigator.
Works great but was a bit of a PITA to set up.
