Been using all summer. There are 2 aps (mAIS , marinetraffic.com) which you can download onto your smartphone which will broadcast your position via phone GPS to your enabled friends. Freak and I formed a fleet so we know when/where each other fishes (optional to turn on/off). Lot easier then spending $300-400+ for a new AIS VHF radio.

How do we get in the fleet? Is there a hazing ritual?  |

you add vessels to your fleet. you can set up email notifications. I get an email when phil leaves and when he gets back.
Just add fishbucket to your fleet.
If you don't care who knows where you are it's great..
It however does NOT transmit your position to vessels that have the AIS system.It only works on the app and online.
It is NOT a cheap alternative to AIS.
it's a neat little toy.

It pings every few minutes. You tell it when to ping when you set it up.

Just have to remember to turn it off when your not on the boat it it'll show you heading down rt95

You just have to let others know how you registered, aka your boat name. This will allow anyone to follow you but all the rights and privileges of MY FLEET membership require exchanging of pleasantry's so you get e-mail notifications.
I am "BeeReel"
This is a screen shot from the PC app. Note that the BeeReel is not being shown in Brockton!

For anyone interested that is not in My Fleet and fails to get e-mail notifications, my next live tracking broadcast will be Saturday morning starting about 7AM.  |

Although this is an ap to be used at sea, it actually does provide your location from anywhere you get phone signal. Let's suppose you are lost/hurt in the woods, activation of the AIS signal would permit anyone to find your exact location via the PC ap. Just a thought.
