Coastal & Offshore

Navigation and map data for coastal operations.

Use GPS Navigator for vessel navigation, and use Farun APIs for harbour apps, coastal planning, support vehicle routing, reachability analysis, and operational maps.

Marine Problems

Marine operations need both helm tools and software tools.

A vessel may need dedicated navigation hardware. A harbour platform may need map tiles, reachability, routing, and terrain APIs. Farun supports both sides of the operation.

Vessels Need Navigation Hardware

Marine teams often need a dedicated unit at the helm for chart context, GNSS positioning, waypoints, and reachability while operating on the water.

Harbour Software Needs Map Data

Harbour operators, coastal teams, and marine service companies also need maps, reachability, routing, and terrain data inside their own software.

Reachability Is Hard To Model

Teams need to understand patrol range, rescue coverage, harbour service zones, and road access from coastal bases. That requires more than a static chart.

Switching Hardware at the Shore

Harbour logistics teams, amphibious rescue units, and coastal researchers often need both vessel navigation and land-side routing for support vehicles.

How Farun Helps

GPS Navigator for vessel navigation.

GPS Navigator is the hardware product for vessel and mixed land-and-water navigation. It gives operators chart context, waypoints, GNSS positioning, and reachability at the helm.

Nautical Cartography

Depth contours and restricted zones.

Farun renders highly compressed offline marine vector layers. Access depth contours, navigation buoys, shipping lanes, and restricted area overlays instantly from the device's solid-state drive.

Switch between terrestrial maps and marine charts instantly.

Dynamic Isochrones

Speed-based reachability rings.

Visualize a real-time, dynamic radius around your vessel based on your current GNSS speed (SOG). Know instantly if a destination is reachable within your timeframe.

Calculated entirely on-device without server roundtrips.

Marine Waypoints

Safe path calculation.

Plan complex routes across open water while our edge-compute engine automatically respects shallow water exclusions and mapped coastal boundaries.

Set minimum depth safety parameters directly in the UI.

Amphibious Operation

From the dashboard to the helm.

One device, two domains. Unclip the device from your 4x4, mount it on your vessel, and continue tracking without losing your GNSS lock or navigation state.

Safe for operations at sea.

For Developers

APIs for harbour and coastal software.

Farun APIs are for teams building coastal management tools, harbour dispatch apps, service coverage tools, support vehicle routing, and operational map interfaces.

You can use these APIs without buying GPS Navigator hardware. If your vessels also need a physical navigation unit, add the GPS Navigator.

View all APIs

Without Farun

  • Vessel navigation and harbour software are treated as separate worlds
  • Harbour apps need separate vendors for maps, routing, and coverage analysis
  • Patrol range, rescue coverage, and service zones are estimated manually
  • Land-side support routing is disconnected from coastal operations

With Farun

  • GPS Navigator supports vessel navigation and mixed land-and-water workflows
  • Vector Tiles API renders nautical and coastal map layers in your software
  • Isochrone API models service areas, patrol range, and rescue coverage
  • Routing API supports land-side harbour logistics and access planning
