[Domox's Burning Sail Nav. Map [Now with Map Data, Arrival Estimation]]

The port locations are an export from Booyaah's with some sanitation performed. I'll be looking to improve the data as time goes on. Also, I never intended this to be an AFK tool where you end up bumping into your destination after a long ride but rather something that makes sure you end up in the ballpark.

 

In that line of thinking I'm considering doing some speed/time math after taking several trips in order to provide time estimates and an estimation cone of sorts so you know it's time to start checking horizons after some time has passed.

I put this together the other day in order to simplify those long open water shots we all try to eyeball from time to time.

Usage
- Double click to center the compass on a location.
- Single click to draw a line from the center of the compass to a destination.
- Steer your ship onto the bearing the line intersects on the compass.
- Use the controls in the top right to orient/zoom the map.
- Mobile devices can add this address to their home screen to get a nice icon they can use to jump here.
 
Supports
- Works on modern Chrome/Safari/FFox/iOS/Android
- Touch capable
 
Coming Soon
- Location hashing so you can link directly to a location
- Heat mapping: See where people are plotting courses the most?
- Location pinging?
 
Disclaimer
- This is still a dead reckoning sort of thing. The longer the trip the more potential there is for deviation.
 
Thanks
Thanks to ShroudedRecluse for his port data. He gave me permission to transcribe it all over to geojson.
 
Please email info@bvr.io for any questions/comments you don't want to post here.
 
Data
I've added the geojson I used to populate this map to github in hopes that people can improve/use it. Let me know if you spot any issues.

[Modify the names over the ships ?]

It makes sense, I would think, to remove the names above the ships and only show the names when you use the spyglass.
