Creating A Link To ShipTrak

If you have your own web page, or maintain a web page for an RV'er or ship-at-sea, you can create a link from your web page to ShipTrak.  It's very simple and adds a nice touch for your visitors. 

Copy & paste the following html into your web page and make it a hyperlink:
http://shiptrak.org/?callsign=<callsign>
(change <callsign> to the callsign of the station you want to display and remove the brackets <>.)

You can also specify the range to search, as in positions for the last 30, 90 or 365 days.  Do this:
http://shiptrak.org/?callsign=<callsign>&filter=30
(leave the filter section out for ALL positions)
 

This should work under most applications.  You can also add  target="_blank" if you wish to have the link to ShipTrak open in a new window.  There may an issue with using this with frames.  You will have to try it and see.  I make no guarantees.
