GIS route for ships

Hello to all,

Is there a way to have automatic route for ships in GIS module? (currently there are air, road and rail options)? Thanks in advance.

BR, Vlad

If you are aware of a routing server that has data for shipping routes, you can add it via the GIS Navigator properties:

I'm not aware of any OSRM routing servers that have maritime or shipping routes. The closest I could find is OpenSeaMap which provides map visualization of nautical data but no routing information as far as I can tell.

If you want shipping routes on a map, add them yourself via connected points using rhumb lines (if the ship follows straight headings) or flight paths (if the ship follows the curvature of the earth). Then set the durations for the routes based on how fast your ships travel.
