Hi. Thanks for a great product.
I was wondering if you have considered a possibility to view Marinetraffic.com's AIS data on the screen when flying.
When crossing a stretch of sea I figured it would be nice to get a quick overview of what vessels are around (Yes - I realise that looking out the windshield would also tell me this:-)) Knowing the name of a nearby vessel could be useful for transmitting for SAR services. Vessels could be indicated as simple dots. When flying over sea there is not much else information on the chart anyways.

I have the marinetraffic app installed separately on my Ipad so it's no big deal in any case.

Regards,
John
