reading player's rants that the Devs should include more ingame options (Map tools) so that 3rd party apps are not necessary. 

Ah, I think I've seen comments to that effect. Nevermind those guys. Devs released api data for us to use, they want this. They are happy when we make stuff and so are we.

However, why would you need to work on a journey that only takes minutes or even fractions of it?

The only circumstance when a short journey, with several waypoints, may involve important timings is during a storm, when visibility is lousy.  

Most of the important timings are out on the open water, when cumulative intervals of several half minutes can result in a significant variation in distance.  As a trader, it is wise to plot a course to avoid sighting land, where the course plan becomes an important recipe for arriving on schedule, at a precise spot.

Regardless, your map is very helpful as it is. It works well, and it is fast.  It's also easy to modify the Journey.  My comments are offered in the spirit of fine tuning it.   Players interested in precision navigation can still use a graphics program, some basic geometry, a little arithmetic and Shrouded Recluse's map for detailed calculations.

Thanks jodgi,

Good advice, I should just enjoy the stuff people create to enhance the game, and ignore the hate.   Suppose some people just want to complain.

I would greatly appreciate Devs to include in-game basic tools of navigation, sailing profiles and data that should be easily accessible

That's fine but they won't have that kind of time on their hands for a long time. In the mean time I'm happy they gave us API.

Journey

From the trips I'm made, and timed, the result seems fairly accurate; At least for an empty Basic Cutter  But there is no way to determine the trip details with cargo.  The speed reduction from carrying goods in the hold will result in significant variation.  Perhaps the ship's top speed could be added to Journey.
