How these stay trustworthy
Each border written by hand from the country's own transport authority — never scraped, never auto-translated. New ones land as routes through them do, and slot straight into a region above.
- 01Checked against each country's official transport authority
- 02Re-verified whenever a rule changes, not on a fixed schedule
- 03Linked straight into route planning — flagged on the map, not a separate tab
