I'm looking for something I can show to family and friends so they can locate me over the course of the summer in the wilds of BC and Alaska. If Marine traffic is simply gonna display "pleasure vessel received by satellite", that won't serve.
If this is your goal, then get a Delorme Inreach for $300. Then your family or whoever can see you all the time. I keep mine on the boat, just in case, the boat disappears. But when I finally make it to Alaska next year and am hiking around, I will take it with me.
I wouldn't travel off the beaten track without an InReach and I wouldn't travel on the beaten track without an AIS transceiver.
