Hello, I've gone through the relevant documentation, built the project and read about OSM's treatment of waterways (I am familiar with regular OSM-based routing, due to the above project). I'm still reading up on alternative implementations- but had a few questions: My understanding is that OrganicMaps uses A* as a base algorithm for route planning on road networks-
Look forward to your response, and contributing to OrganicMaps. Thank you! |

Hi @ooprizrakoo This is a very good idea , I have some prior experience working with maps where i implemented the same thing but where we worked on roads. We heard a problem that Travelling salesman have an issue when they want to visit many locations in a trip and they want to check the shortest route along with the resting spots and good areas of food , so that they can plan a trip in a effective way. We did this is Python Programming language and I am pretty sure that we can do the same in C++ . I want to contribute in to this open source project. Please share me some of the sources of the project so that i can easily understand the WIP . |

Great idea. In addition, I would also like to see other features such as Navaids, water depths, and other boating POIs. All this info is available for free. I think there is even an Open Sea Map. |

Note that the existing "Ruler" routing option allows building a rough linear route with many stop points on the river. |

According to the CIA "The world factbook" worldwide waterways length - 2,293,412 kilometers.
Of course, rivers are not necessarily navigable along the entire length, but for kayakers, fishermen and millions of people living on rivers, it is often important to know the length of the river from its current location to some other location.
It will help you to plan the route taking into account the places for overnight stays, sources of drinking water, and so on.
What do you think about?
