Google Maps Will Include UK River and Canal Data for Navigation


Google Maps includes plenty of data, especially in a country such as the UK. Every inch of road has been scoured by the Street View cars there and is now online, there's no place you can't get to.

Unless, until today, you thought about going off the road and using other routes of transport. And no, this isn't about railroads, it's about waterways and canals, both of which the UK has plenty.

The Canal and River Trust, a charity that will begin administering the British waterways from next month has donated full mapping data to Google on all the rivers and canals in the country (England and Wales).

This data, including access points to canals such as bridges, will be used by Google to provide directions that consider canals as an alternative to using the road, or walking.
