The Vessel's future route can be easily visualized on the Live Map using our Route Forecast feature.
The feature allows you to display a calculated future route that the vessel will take, along with waypoints and ETA.
Our users with the Basic accounts will be able to see a forecast for the vessel's route but with limited access to the Voyage information, such as ETA and Speed.
While access to the ETA and speed details is available for the users subscribed to the Plans Professional, Enterprise and the Fleet Management Solution.
