<p class="MsoNormal">I’d not discount AIS. It’s deemed mostly for shipping because it’s mandatory if a vessel is over 300 gross tonnage, but it can be applied to canal boats, and even buildings!. An ais transponder is not the cheapest, typically £250-500, and
may not compare well with a vessel of that size. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">People with a land based AIS receiver can usually share their feed on the internet and get free access to a global api, otherwise you need to pay to access the feed (similar to how you see in <a href="http://marinetraffic.com" target="_blank">marinetraffic.com</a> or <a href="http://vesseltracker.com" target="_blank">vesseltracker.com</a>). A map
can be embedded and filtered on the vessel(s) wanted, if desired.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For your immediate needs, <a href="https://locatoweb.com/en/features" target="_blank">
https://locatoweb.com/en/features</a> appears to do what’s wanted. An embeddable real time gps trace map for your website is available.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This is not something I’ve ever had to use.. so I dunno if there are hidden fees beyond signup. It just states:</p>

<div>Hello all,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As the N Wales and Wrexham recipients of this will know, I'm not a developer, the Anglian recipients probably don't know me at all but I moved here a couple of years ago. Over the last 15 years I've written a lot about Linux and FOSS for various magazines
and websites, but I'm no expert, so bear with me.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now I'm mostly retired I have a river/canal cruiser. Last year I did a single-handed trip of about 10 days in each direction to a boat show. So that my family could keep track I enabled 'find my phone' on my mobile and gave them the login details. OK as
far as it goes but not ideal obvs. I also <a href="https://pthane.co.uk/day-1/" target="_blank">
blogged</a> each day and then wrote it all up for a boat magazine. This year I plan a longer trip - to the Llangollen International Eisteddfod - about 3 weeks each way. I've sorted out WIFi and a laptop charger on the boat so I can blog better, now I'd like
to improve the mapping. The ideal would be a map I can embed in a WP page on my website, that updates every few minutes as I travel. GPS from either my phone, or if really necessary a dedicated GPS device.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone know if such is already possible using OSM + plugins etc? I've had a quick look online but most advice refers to Google maps. Most of the rest gets very technical very quickly. Goes over my head.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Plan B, is there a dev out there looking for a project? Unpaid and 'free' naturally! Would it feasible to create something like FlightRadar' that displayed boat positions on inland waterways? There is already
<a href="http://marinetraffic.com" target="_blank">
marinetraffic.com</a> for shipping, but that's way too big. I'm thinking of something boat owners could subscribe to that was available online and capable of being embedded in a webpage.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>--<br>
</div>
<div>Phil<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hopefully someone might have ideas, I'm interested myself as fair few other uses come to my mind.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,<br>
</div>
