What's new in Dhuveli

Five years of features, improvements and fixes — building the tools Maldivian fleets run on, since 2021.

30 Sep 2026

Satellite by default

improved
Default map

The map opens on Google satellite imagery again. Dhuveli Daylight and Dhuveli Midnight are one click away in the layers panel, and a map you have already chosen stays chosen.

29 Sep 2026

Wind, two days ahead

new
Wind time slider

With the wind layer on, a slider under the map controls scrubs the forecast from now to 48 hours ahead in three-hour steps, or press play and watch it turn. The particles follow the hour you pick.

improved
Weather strip

While the slider is ahead of now, the strip at the bottom of the map shows the wind and sea for that hour where the map is looking, and says which hour it is.

28 Sep 2026

Wind on the map

new
Wind layer

The forecast wind as moving particles over the map, the way the weather apps draw it: direction as motion, strength as pace and colour. Switch it on in the layers panel, on the live map and on shared links alike; it stays on until you switch it off.

27 Sep 2026

Our own map, a trip log & arrival times

new
Dhuveli Daylight & Dhuveli Midnight

Our own chart of the Maldives in a day and a dark palette, drawn from the survey authority's islands, reefs and lagoons with OpenStreetMap, island names and atoll boundaries. Dhuveli Midnight is now the default map.

new
Automatic trip log

Every voyage recorded as it happens: departure, stops, distance and speed, by vessel and captain, with scheduled departures shown against the trips that ran and CSV and PDF exports.

new
Arrival times

Where a vessel is heading and when it will arrive, estimated from its own past voyages, with an alert when it is nearly in.

new
Speed analysis

Cruise speed, time in each speed band and every run over the limit, per trip and per vessel, with a printable report.

new
Trip summaries

A one-line summary of each trip in your Telegram group, or to your webhooks, when the boat arrives. Opt-in per group.

improved
Harbours on the map

New harbours and reclaimed land redrawn from recent imagery, starting with Maafushi's west harbour.

fixed
Vessel panel

For a few minutes after a boat left, its trip line could still say "Stopped"; it now follows the boat at once.

fixed
No-signal alerts

Lost-signal alerts could arrive five hours early and show the wrong time.

24 Sep 2026

The Atlas, tides & harbours

new
Maldives Atlas

A free, open reference of every island, atoll, harbour, dive site, wreck, FAD and navigation light in the country, with Dhivehi names and coordinates. No sign-up.
