Boat Position turns your WordPress site into a live tracking and logbook service for your boat.
The plugin is designed around the Teltonika RUTX50 router (*), a compact Linux-based 5G router with built-in GPS. 
A shell script on the router sends a position to your site every minute. The plugin stores each position, runs a state machine to group positions into trips and legs, and serves three public pages:
<ul>
<li>Live map (<code>/boat-position/map</code>) — shows the current position on an OpenStreetMap/OpenSeaMap map with a rotating arrow icon when underway and an idle indicator when stopped. Visible voyage plans are drawn as dashed green routes with flag markers.</li>
<li>Logbook (<code>/boat-position/history</code>) — calendar sidebar with trip history. Click any day to see the full route on the map. Logged-in editors can label harbour names and merge incorrectly split trips.</li>
<li>Voyage plans (<code>/boat-position/plans</code>) — plan future voyages as ordered lists of waypoints with optional ETAs. Multiple plans are supported; each plan can be toggled visible/hidden on the map independently.</li>
</ul>
Over 150 Danish harbours are included as seed data so harbour names are detected automatically from GPS coordinates.
No third-party services or API keys are required beyond your own WordPress site. Maps are rendered using the free Leaflet.js library with OpenStreetMap and OpenSeaMap tiles.
(*) There are other alternatives to using the RTUTX50 router, any device that has access to a GPS and the internet can be configured as the source of position data. 
 E.g. a linux machine like Rasberry PI connected to either its own GPS or the boat NMEA data.
