[talk-au] Use of AIS message as input to OSM

[Arthur Geeson]

Hi Graeme,

On receiving the AIS data about half of the messages at my location come 
from fixed location beacons that ships are able to receive and then plot 
the positions on their display along with their GPS position and the 
positions of other vessels.  They are then able to navigate with greater 
safety knowing what is around them.  These fixed location beacons I feel 
should be also permanently marked on the OSM so that weekend sailors can 
use the OSM with more information available.  I presume that these 
beacons consist of a pile or buoy fitted with a solar panel, battery and 
VHF transmitter with software to control the transmission.  They are of 
course situated in suitable locations to assist with navigation.

Hope this helps - Arthur
