How to plan a route with a ferry

Summary

Unfortunately, the Cyclers route planner does not currently support ferries. We are aware of this limitation and plan to address it in a future version of the app. We appreciate your understanding and apologise for this missing feature. In the meantime, there is a simple way around this - you can split your journey into multiple stages before and after the ferry crossing.

Step-by-step instructions

If you are planning a route that involves a ferry crossing, we recommend splitting your journey and planning two separate routes:

  1. Plan the first leg – Create and save a route from your starting point to the ferry terminal.

  2. Plan the second leg – Create and save a separate route starting from the opposite ferry terminal to your final destination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Will the planner route me over a ferry if there is no other choice?

    • No, because ferries are not currently supported, the planner will attempt to find an alternative land route, even if it requires a significant detour. Splitting your route into multiple sections is the best way to bypass this.

  • When will ferry support be added?

    • While we do not have a specific release date yet, adding ferry routes is on our roadmap for future updates.
