I have used Marine Traffic and it's companion App, On Course on my iPad for years. Both require access to the internet and rely on the wireless devices GPS. And, they both work great.

MarineTraffic shows all of the AIS signals, tags each with vessel information as well as course and speed. You can set it so that is shows the projected course out in an adjustable number of minutes.

On Course goes one step further and assigns you an AIS number and position in almost real time. It is transmitted over the AIS network. Pretty slick!

Enjoying the portability (and reliability Edd) of the IPad. Without the laptop I have lost my AIS. Started googling around "AISing" the IPad and thought I would tap into the brain trust and save me some screen face time. I assume it is possible. Or is a AIS/VHF the better route.
