This new version introduces ship search functionality based on ship names. Furthermore, it lets the user see the ship details based on the information received from the AIS signals that the ship transmits.
Ships found that have data older than 30 minutes will be shown as a red crosshair.
Furthermore, it fixes a minor problem with search functions found in earlier versions.
