Production Ready on Day 1
A stack agnostic intelligence layer designed to coexist with your existing cartography engine.
THE PHILOSOPHY: NON-DESTRUCTIVE DEPLOYMENT
We don't replace your charts. We make them smarter.
Ditch is architected as an overlay, not a replacement. Whether your platform is a mobile planning app or a dedicated helm MFD, our data sits on top of your existing raster or vector charts, similar to a traffic layer on a road map.
We are completely front end agnostic. Our infrastructure delivers raw data and geometry, leaving the rendering and styling decisions entirely in your control. You define the user experience; we provide the decision confidence.
DELIVERY METHODS
Flexible architecture for connected and disconnected environments.
Marine navigation requires resilience. Our delivery model supports both real time cloud connectivity and offline continuity.
-
Cloud API (Planning & Analysis)
For mobile applications and web-based trip planners, our RESTful API provides real time access to our full historical database.
-
Intelligent Caching (Offline Navigation)
For the helm, we support tile based caching / offline packets. This allows users to download Local Expert guidance for specific regions (e.g., Chesapeake Bay or Puget Sound), ensuring the guidance remains available even when the vessel loses cellular or satellite connectivity.
DATA STANDARDS
Universal compatibility.
Our GeoJSON payloads are optimized for low bandwidth environments, ensuring that Local Expert overlays don't compromise the refresh rate of the primary cartography engine.
We output standard geospatial formats, ensuring seamless integration with modern rendering engines including Mapbox GL, OpenLayers, Google Maps, and Skia.
The Output:
Data is delivered as standard GeoJSON FeatureCollections containing LineStrings (the route) and Point data (waypoints).
The Payload:
Every data packet includes the geometry for the path plus metadata:
-
Trust Score: 0.0 - 1.0 confidence rating
-
Vessel Class Source: e.g., "Draft > 2m"
-
Timestamp: Last verified date
SECURITY &
SCALE
Enterprise grade access control.
We protect our API endpoints with industry standard authentication protocols, allowing you to manage usage across your user base securely.
-
Auth: Standard API Key authentication.
-
Tenancy: Data is siloed to ensure your fleet’s usage metrics remain private.
-
System Resilience: Our architecture is built on auto-scaling AWS infrastructure designed to handle enterprise level concurrency without degradation.
DEVELOPER RESOURCES
Built by engineers, for engineers.
We provide the tools your team needs to prototype, test, and deploy without friction.
-
Interactive Sandbox: Test API queries against live data without writing code.
-
Swagger Documentation: Full, interactive endpoint definitions.
-
Versioning: Strict semantic versioning ensures backward compatibility, we will never break your production build with an unannounced update.
