nothing is ever real time. recon will update just a few miuntes after the minobs and recco and vertex come .

lightning every few minutes

buoy and ship all depends of type NDBC or VOS ship most of them every hour.. but there are hundreds of ships of VOS and bouys ships from the world is great..

pretty much everthing updates a few minutes after the data is updated from whatever source it comes from ..

they all work very well ... you will like it
