How to plan a route with a ferry

Summary

The Cyclers route planner does not currently support ferries. We are aware of this limitation and plan to address it in the near future. 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 near future updates.
