Coastguard CRV Missions Spawning in the Ocean!

I have recently had 2 x CRV missions Spawn in the Ocean!

Investigate Flare from Coastline & Abandoned Flares

These are Road vehicle missions so should be placed on the coastline! All the Lifeboat Missions do this so why not the Coastguards??

Also Why do the Lifeboats travel along roads and through town centres?? Surely they can follow the Coastline?? Although I did have 1 Spawn inland too! this was for a Cruiseship Evacuation!

Lifeboat missions should spawn in the Ocean and Coastguard missions should spawn on the Coastline! NOT the other way around!

The mapping system cannot tell the difference between land and ocean / water, so this will happen. There is nothing that can be done about it at present unfortunately.

Is there not a function to set a spawn area on the lifeboat/coastguard buildings? On AU we can do this for our VMR (marine rescue lile UK coastguard).

Ys....that is what I did in the US version. Moved the spawn area away from shore and into the water. That fixed the boats running mission in the national forest but obviously now the lifeguard vehicles drive on watr

You can change the spawn locations of the lifeboat station missions only on the UK server, not the coastguard station missions. And the mapping system shows an image (the map) with set routes overlayed onto it. That is why missions spawn on or next to shipping / ferry routes, farm tracks etc. Because it does not spawn missions on the map, it spawns them on top of the routes which are placed over the top of the map. Hence it cannot tell what is water or land.
