Globe will initially rotate to your current location.
Upon Validation, globe will show last recorded location of boat, if known.

Not all history is available for all boats. Some reports may contain little or no history. Boatfax and its related entities accept no liability in respect of the information contained within the report. Users should seek additional methods to verify the information provided.
