Description:
Live vessel tracking meet the iPhone.
** gTrax, with once daily updates to selected regions, now FREE**
Maritime Information Systems (MIS), the leading US provider of vessel tracking solutions to the maritime industry, has teamed up with the ship captains and maritime professionals at gCaptain.com to bring you gTrax, vessel tracking for the iPhone.
gTrax harnesses MIS’s network of redundant secure, Automatic Information System (AIS), antennas to gather information directly from commercial ships and boats underway in the harbor. Once processed through MIS’s server the information is pushed out to your iPhone and the location of each ship is plotted on the app’s built in google map.
The vessel’s location is just the start. Each ship is color coded according to it’s speed and oriented by course giving you an accurate “heads-up” view of the marine traffic around you. Clicking on the vessel brings additional information including the ship’s destination, job function, navigational status and more.
Advanced sorting capabilities allow you to sort by the vessel’s name and function. For example, if you want to find the exact location of a ferry, you can select to view only “Passenger” vessels. If you know the name of a specific ferry simply type it in and the map will automatically center on the boat’s current location.
You can sort ships by type including:
- Cargo of Tanker (Large Commercials Ships)
- Passenger (Ferry’s & Cruise Ships)
- Law Enforcement (Coast Guard & Police)
- Oil Spill Response
- Fishing Boats
- Plus 14 other categories.
In addition the app tracks Super-yachts, Sailing Ships and Pleasure Boats equipped with AIS-B transmitters.
This application, unlike other vessel trackers found online, uses a commercial AIS network built from the ground up by Maritime Information Systems. Hobbiest antennas are not included as the lack reliability.
Purchasing this app gives you once daily updates on the location of vessels throughout the harbor. Live tracking of vessels requires a monthly subscription of $9.99 per month for each location supported. The addition of live tracking is an option you will be able to subscribe to from within the app, no addition application will need to be purchased.
The locations currently supported include:
- San Francisco, CA
- New York City, NY
- Baltimore, MD
- Beaumont, TX
- Boston, MA
- The Great Lakes
- Miami
- Seattle, WA
- Shanghai, China
- Tampa, FL
Whether you are a boater in the harbor, commuter that relies on local ferries, manager of a JIT supply chain or simply enjoy watching ships from the window of your office, this application will give you specific details on the movement of ships around you.

"I'm still unsure of the magic behind the service but from my office I can watch a ships sail by, pull the name off gTrax and google the ship. Neat stuff." -Brent Schultz, Alltop Contributor
