Hi, I would like to use the position data received from Automatic Identification System (AIS) messages that are used for navigational aids for marine ships to plot the position of these piles on the OSM but I am not sure if this would be copy right information?
Perhaps we could have a 'source - AIS' ? Looking at the OSM wiki I find that there is a 'man_made - beacon' tag. Further searching I find there is an OpenSeaMap. I am not sure why we would need OpenStreetMap and OpenSeaMap should these not be combined? However if they are separate so be it. It would seem that OpenSeaMap has a number of suitable icons but I was not able to search it. Basically AIS does not seem to be supported on either of the maps. MarineTraffic.com uses the OpenStreetMap to display the positions of many thousands of ships around the world based on AIS input. Is anyone able to help? Thanks - Arthur
