It's easy to make a script to total up all the segments of a waterway or 
any way.
It would be already done if the routers added "by boat" to my suggested 
"by plane" ("as the crow flies").
I suggested that real routes can be made of multiple segments of those 
various kinds.
Like a car travel followed by a hike including a canoe trip.
Like the Tour de France (some parts by plane).
But I seem like not well understood or maybe seen as eccentric.

All the best,

André.
