  Description     : A tool for demodulating and decoding AIS messages using the line input of the sound card.

gnuais is a tool for demodulating and decoding AIS messages using the line input of the sound card. AIS messages are transmitted by marine vessels and contain their position, velocity and other interesting information. The messages may be saved to an mysql-database, forwarded as NMEA packets or uploaded to an AIS web service.  There is also a GUI distributed as a separate package which is capable of displaying the vessels in an openstreetmaps GUI using the libosmgpsmap2 library.
