Actually, it's 100 times better then ADSB. It's called AIS and not only does it display a position in relation to you, but it also gives its lat and long, whether it's underway with its speed, it's departure and destination port, the vessels name and also the position on the vessels the transponder is located. All on a ship that is likely to do only 30 kts....
