Many modern computer-based marine navigation software packages, such as Rose Point Coastal Explorer 2009 and Nobeltec Visual Navigation Suite 9.0 or higher, can be configured to interpret the incoming AIS data stream and convert the information into human readable information. These packages also support plotting nearby ships on digital charts and can show your position (via a separate GPS) in relation to the other vessels in the area that have AIS transponders.
