So, I've been using a different method -- they frequently report weather conditions (daily -- sometimes multiple times a day) to the weather service. That service is tracked on www.sailwx.info and includes longitude and latitude of the last known report (and the date and time the report was sent). Again, some ships choose not to do this, but my ship is doing it (so far anyway), making it easy for me to track her.
Just tried to look up the Grande Napoli and the Grand Venus (both bound for Port Hueneme) but had no luck. |
Thanks for looking. I found this on mobile tracker

but I don't know if it is accurate or just a demo?
