Bridges
Photo, dimensions, and available clearance at your estimated arrival.
Waterway Ahead—automatically
Just cruise. Rivers & Seas looks ahead.
There is no route to plan and no information to assemble. Rivers & Seas recognizes the waterway as you cruise and automatically shows bridges, locks, notices, and vessel traffic in the order that they matter.
Set off instead of planning ahead
The waterway reorders itself as you cruise.
Your position, direction, and speed are enough. The view keeps updating and brings forward what you will reach next. Turn onto another waterway or change speed, and Rivers & Seas automatically adjusts the order and arrival times.
Locks
Operating time, closure, VHF, and telephone details before you reach them.
Vessel traffic
Commercial vessels, ferries, and oncoming traffic in the context of the waterway.
Arrival, not static data
Warnings that fit your boat and your timing.
Rivers & Seas combines boat dimensions, current speed, tide height, opening times, and available navigation notices. Many separate facts become one clear answer: Will the bridge fit, will the lock be open, and what traffic lies ahead?
Bridge clearance at arrival
Where tides or water levels are available, the clearance expected when you reach the bridge is what matters.
Lock closed at arrival
Operating times, closures, and notices relate to your arrival instead of sitting in a separate list beside the map.
Oncoming traffic and ferries ahead
A large vessel around the bend or a crossing ferry appears early as part of the situation on your waterway.
Notices without searching authority portals
ELWIS and EuRIS information becomes part of the trip automatically.
Rivers & Seas processes available notices to skippers, connects them to the waterway, and turns them into plain-language information or warnings. Closures, restrictions, and changed operating times appear where they matter for the journey.
Spend less time waiting at locks
A commercial vessel ahead could take you through the same lockage.
Rivers & Seas automatically compares when you and the commercial vessel will reach the next lock. Alongside VHF and telephone details, you see the speed needed to arrive with that vessel.
Know the structure before you arrive
Photo, dimensions, and contact details in one clear view.
Bridge photos and dimensions make structures easier to recognize. For locks, available operating times, VHF, telephone, usable length, width, and draft appear together. There is no need to assemble critical details just before arrival.
For inland and coastal cruising
Particularly strong on German and European waterways.
The boating map works worldwide. Rich Waterway Ahead information is being expanded for Berlin and Potsdam, the Mecklenburg Lake District, German rivers and canals, the Netherlands, and France. Tides and coastal charts make Rivers & Seas useful on the way to sea as well.
