Could you build this?
Partial Displaying vessel info on a map is standard, but accessing real-time maritime AIS (Automatic Identification System) tracking data requires commercial marine data feeds or specialized receiver networks.
What it would actually take: A working vessel tracker uses a mapping frontend (Leaflet/Mapbox) connected to backend ingest pipelines consuming real-time terrestrial and satellite AIS data feeds (e.g., from providers like Spire, MarineTraffic, or raw NMEA streams via AISHub). The proprietary barrier is paying for or sourcing satellite AIS telemetry data, as satellite constellation feeds are expensive and gated.
