What the app talks to
* Base map from OpenStreetMap, seamark overlay from tiles.openseamap.org
* Waterway tiles for routing from boatspeedy.wozise.de, a server run by the author. The data comes from OpenStreetMap, the generator is open source (Glenn-Dandy/boatspeedy-mapdata)
* Without matching tiles, routing asks the public Overpass servers
* Weather and warnings from the Deutscher Wetterdienst, via maps.dwd.de and api.brightsky.dev
* Update check at api.github.com, only when you tap it
