Is there a possybility to add route via point in the ferry line ?
I tried it like below (blue one is a via point), but it's not working.

Hello Krzysiek,

it is not possible to approach the usecase in the way you do.
Some explanation:
Viapoints / fuzzy means that
  • we compute a route from the previous Waypoint to the fuzzy point,
  • then we "walk back" on the route for the fuzzy radius (:=new waypoint)
  • and compute another route from the new waypoint to the succeeding waypoint
  • finally we concatenate the partial routes (PRE->NEW)+(NEW->SUCC) to the result
I assume the ferry coordinate causes a linking error in step 1.

If you want to enforce the usage of a specific ferry you can use the ID of the specific ferry connection:
xLocate provides the ID of the connection (left map and grid). xRoute is then able to consider it as a Waypoint (right map).
