Challenge #236: I Thought It Was Channel Surfing?

A solution to last week's challenge can be found here.

This week's challenge was submitted by @wwatson - Thank you for your submission!

For this week's challenge, you are the skipper of a large container ship destined for Belfast harbour. You must navigate through the exact centre of the navigation channel due to the large draft of your ship. The origin - current position of your ship, the destination and the locations of the channel marker buoys are provided.

Plot the marker buoys as lines showing the left and right buoys, and the route through centre of the buoys. Also calculate the length of the route through the channel from your origin to the destination in miles. Create a report snippet to show the route and distance.

First weekly challenge that I've been able to do for the last several weeks, and it was a fun one.

As usual, the reporting tools are tricky, but very robust if you know how to use them.

I love playing with spatial data! So intuitive to work out which tools to use.

Nice challenge. I didn't expect to say this anytime about a challenge using spatial and reporting tools ...

ARGGGGGHHH Reports.

I always learn something each time I do a challenge with a report, mostly I don't like reports.

Nice, took me significantly less time than last week's challenge. Think I could optimise my solution a little but was not in the mood 😅

Here's my solution. I made a couple of tweaks. Set both lane boundary lines to the same color. I figured the points on the lane boundaries are the buoy positions but didn't see any significance to the points on the boat's course so I didn't include them. Also included a legend.

My solution.

Hopefully the report map tool will be easier to use.

As someone who doesn't get to use spatial tools much at work, I really love these spatial challenges 🙂

Done 😀

I like the pin icon for the origin and endpoint, will use this next time I map a map! Don't think I needed to separate each of the three lines, but end result is correct and I've spent long enough on it already!
