If I have AIS, do I need RADAR?
Administrator Wed, 11/28/2012 - 00:50

If I have AIS, do I need RADAR?

You don't need radar at all.  Radar is good for spotting ships and rain, and coastal navigation.  AIS is probably better for spotting ships, since it gives you their name.  

Spotting rain is nice because then you have an idea of how big a squall is.

We like to have both!
