## Data

The bundled fairway network (`data/routes.gpkg`, `data/fairways.gpkg`) is derived
from the **Rijkswaterstaat FIS-VNDS** open vaarweg/route data
(`https://geo.rijkswaterstaat.nl/services/ogc/gdr/fis_vnds/ows`). Live bridge,
lock and (optional) other route furniture is fetched from the same service.
