In our country have many rivers that don't have bridge but have ferry that will carry motobikes, cars to opposite side of the rivers. I can't find the way to draw route through rivers like that. Please help me to solve this problem
Thanks

Currently there is no way to draw a ferry route.  You can star the following issue:

The frerry route can be added just in US. I don't understand why Google team don't solve this for everyone, nor just for USA. Many routes in Romania and Moldova includes ferry, but not working because of this issue. That's why the map route will be 200-300 km longer insteed 1 km thru the ferryboat!
Here is why i think it can be solved quickley (link to one US ferry route):http://goo.gl/JF3Rn

Hi all,

Jason's right, there is no way to map a ferry route currently on Map Maker both for the U.S and the rest of the world. This feature you see here, was added by us internally.

Thanks,
Raza

Yes that's a good ideea. In Romania are just 4 ferry routes over Danubian river at the Romania-Bulagaria border, so you could easly add it!
Wait for good news!
