Marine Route Planning With Great Circle, Rhumb Line, and ETA Logic
Waypoint is built for mariners who need more than dropping a line on a map. It gives you route logic that feels closer to professional planning software than consumer boating apps.
Planning modes
Great Circle + Rhumb Line
Route detail
Waypoint reorder, ETA, leg review
Operator benefit
More control before departure
Great Circle when distance matters
Waypoint supports proper Great Circle planning for longer legs where geometry and realism matter.
Rhumb Line when bearing matters
For shorter coastal work and constant-bearing thinking, Rhumb Line remains part of the workflow instead of disappearing behind automation.
A route is more than a polyline
Waypoint details route legs, ETA logic, reorderable waypoints, and return-route workflows instead of stopping at map drawing.
What is actually different
Many boating apps make route creation easy, but shallow. Waypoint is trying to keep route creation approachable while adding the controls that serious planners actually need.
- Drag-to-reorder waypoints
- Per-leg route review and ETA logic
- Reverse and duplicate-return workflows
- Fuel-estimate support tied to vessel profile
Made for people who plan before they leave
This is where route planning stops being a line on a screen and starts becoming a trip you can evaluate, adjust, and carry forward with confidence.
Next step
Bring conditions into the plan
The route gets more useful once weather and tides are tied to the ETA instead of living in a separate app.
