Quite a few routes on the heat map that appear to not be following great circle lines (i.e. "straight" lines from china to the west coast) - is that from seasonal currents allowing for more efficient transit with the tradeoff of taking a longer route?

The latest nav software will plot the most efficient course taking into account wind and current direction over the course of the trip.

It's beautiful, but... I'm confused by the role of the play button. Can somebody explain how it works? I click on it and seemingly random things happen.

Turn on your sound. There is voice over narration.
This is beautiful but I really wish the land was green or some more obvious color. Zoomed out it is easier to tell but when it zooms in tightly I'm completely lost (maybe I'm just an idiot?).

This is beautiful and well done. For realtime shipping information, may I suggest this:
I used this when I took a sightseeing trip to the Soo Locks, so that I could plan the best time to see the ships. Pretty cool zooming in from a global view to a single ship sitting right in front of me.

Kinda impressed that even this is ten years old it runs smoothly. These days javascript apps were much more sloppy.
