#2Wow, didn’t know it was stuck horizontally. Hope they can fix it.

#3Wonder how the data for the actual position of the ship is obtained or if it’s estimated and just hard coded on to the map?

See the "Broadcast information" section.
Position, heading, speed, unique ID, etc. are all broadcast "every 2 to 10 seconds".
