Ability to add custom shipnames

[flygfantast]

I would like to have the ability to add custom shipnames.
For example on the attached picture the 2 last entries are base stations, and never sends out a ship name. It would be nice if I could "name" them myself. Also the SAR aircraft would be nice to label.

Maybe some similar mapping that we do on the ais2adsb project? But here you map MMSI to a "name".

{ 2655085:"Nkpg" , 2655087:"Ervasteby" }

The easiest approach is to use a plugin like in the link below and edit the table. You can overwrite ship name and/or the callsign.
To create your own overview you can edit the shipNames object which has already to entries to give an example.

Hope that helps
