Wiki page about route relations[1] only has ferries for sea travel. I think we should add route=boat as a route for all kinds of boats in some specific places.
One of those places would be canals like the Panama canal. Currently that canal is tagged wrongly IMHO as several ways[2] with waterway=canal. That is already wrong because some ways with waterway=canal cross the Gatun Lake. A route through a lake isn't a canal. It's a route. Those ways are in a route relation[3] with type=waterway + waterway=canal. I think those relations should be type=route, route=boat. Do we agree with this? If we do I'll add the boat route in the wiki, and change the relations and ways in the Panama canal.
