Feature Request: Different colors per shiptype #162

All vessels on the map have the same color on the map. (except buddy and focused I guess) It would be nice to quickly see that something is a cargo or something. MarineTraffic does this nicely.

If you had to pick a small number of types to start with, what would be the most important ones be?

Donixon commented 3 months ago

If we had to choose, it would be useful to see the difference between inland and sea-ships. (inland is ENI-number and sea is IMO)

Donixon commented 3 months ago

Oh excuse me, I think you meant something else. ^Above is also important for us. But we do a lot with CARGO and TANKERS types. The 'for fun' shiptypes are not important.

panaaj commented 3 months ago

Great I'll start with those. Also with regards ENI number, I'm not sure SignalK parses those. You can check to see if they appear in the data browser on the server admin UI. If they do can you attach a screenshot?

I can find the IMO numbers of the ships that have them in the databrowser. So I think for us it would be enough to have toggle for 'show IMO' and 'show others' or something. If a ship has an IMO number, it most likely is a sea-going ship.
