Google map of canal and river marinas

I don't know if you intend to cover non-CaRT rivers. If so, the upper Thames seems to have moorings missing.

Yes, I hope to cover everything I can find 🙂

Just got to 820 locations and now working on removing the weird and wonderful places that seem to be in the CRT data, there are a lot of EoG moorings (End of Garden, so I am told) and clearly private or commercial (Boat yards that do not offer mooring etc) that are being removed.

Thats why I used the CRT data just as reference material rather than load it straight into my historic map, it's very useful but not always correct.

So I am learning, but I had to start somewhere

Just be be clear, it was closed for "refurbishment" several years ago and all the boats moved to Park Farm, but there's no sign of it re-opening any time soon...

I am after adding the rivers and canals directly on the maps?

Canalplan makes its places and waterways data available as geojson downloads. Comes to just under 8MB. The Tile File is a bit bigger.

My Google Earth KMZ file is 5.85mb but a lot of my data wouldn't be needed, all the disused navigations for a start.

But they are the bestest bits.

Should we do you a navigation guide to the Charnwood Forest Canal, Stamford Canal and perhaps the Nutbrooke Canal

Oh, yes please, I have boots, paddleboard and compass ready.

Hi Guys

 

Great thanks to CanalPlan for publishing the data, we now have the canal and rivers marked on the map.

 

Have a play see what you think, does not seem to have added much to the download time :-), but I am on a 1Gb link 🙂

OK I won't chop my data down now as you have what you need, it would have had to wait until i got home from holiday anyway.

Thanks, someone mentioned the CanalPlanAC data, it needed a lot of manipulation and I could not get the waterway names to show on mouseover, but I suspect that is my problem.

 

Thanks again, enjoy the Holiday
