  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

I do wish there was a river settings to better highlight rivers.

If you're taking requests, could you point me to a visualization that shows the navigable ones (including canals, BTW)?

Tbh I only had this because of two reasons:

  1. ages ago an account on Mastodon shared it
  2. I need to prove to myself that taking a day to sort all my bookmarks was a good investment of my time.

There's another cool site like this that wasn't as graphically cool but popped up various rivers quickly just by mousing over. Can't find it right now but I'll check again to see if I can dig it up.

Good point. They're always impossible to find unless you know exactly where to look
