1. An electronic navigational router, comprising:
- an electronic marine route developer employing measured water depth information to develop marine navigational routes; and
a user interface to accept user input regarding the end point of a marine route, wherein the electronic route developer is configured to;
automatically develop a route based upon the user-supplied end point;
discretize into uniform square discretized cells a multidimensional region that encompasses start and end points with nodes placed in cells, each node connected with its neighbors; and
develop a marine route that includes at least one intervening waypoint when the end point and a start point are not points of navigable visibility to one another, wherein the electronic router includes water depth measurements in a determination of navigable visibility.
