Select ship in aisWeb

Using the webservice it is possible to select a ship in aisweb.

This feature is useful in situations where a user is operating more tools. Using the webservice from 3rd party tools a ship could e.g. be selected in aisweb when a ship is selected in the 3rd party tool.

To allow remote control / remote ship selection a given user will have to allow this under the aisweb settings:

After enabling a icon will be shown in the view tab:
