If you notice that the extras from the deck plans site opens a new site called **********.com if you go to **********.com you will find an application for Google Earth for tracking all cruise ships. If you drill down in the Places menu in Earth you can select only the ships you want to track.

 

If you choose to save the app instead of running it, then every time you just open it then it will not be saved when you exit earth.

 

Have fun.

Would you be able to supply the address that is prior to the .com, CC loves to block things that are obvious links at times. Hit or miss, this time was a hit.

Thanks

Just be aware that all commercial ship tracking sites use the AIS system, which is basically line of sight from the ship to a land station. Therefore, if the ship is more than about 40 miles from a land station (not just from land), the position noted on the tracking site will not have updated, or the ship will be listed as "out of range". Some sites try to get you to subscribe to their "satellite" AIS service, but this is still limited to 24 hours between updates. The only place you can see satellite AIS in real time is a government facility (USN, USCG, etc).
