Waterway route planner

Route planner for rivers, canals and lakes

A long press on the map sets the destination. The phone computes the route over the waterways itself, with locks, weirs and bridges, offline up to 600 km.

  • Locks with opening hours, phone, radio channel and chamber size, one per chamber at twin locks.
  • Bridges with clearance where OpenStreetMap has it. Weirs and hydro plants with their own symbol.
  • Motorboat or canoe. Access rules are read in tiers: access, then boat, then motorboat or canoe. The more specific wins, blocked stretches show red.
  • Across lakes too, such as the Müritz.
  • Distance and consumption. Every route gives the distance and the estimated need in Ah. With a Bluetooth BMS on the battery the range comes live.
  • Map data on the device. All of Europe is 1376 tiles and 176 MB, a 150 km radius about 3.4 MB. Without tiles the app routes via Overpass up to 60 km.
  • Save, share, follow. A dashed line leads to the start, then along the course.

Tested on the Saale, Rhine and Main

The data comes from OpenStreetMap. Depths are not in it, clearances only at some bridges. The route is a suggestion, not a fairway.
