Re: [OSM-talk] www.OpenRouteService.org now supports Bicycle Routing with OSM Data
Hello, very cool indeed. Very much so. - work in progress: tracktype As a cyclist I'd appreciate it if track with no additional info, track with surface=paced, track with surface=gravel, and tracks of type1, 2 and probably 3 would be taken into account. This may be unrealistic, but maybe you can include tracktype, surface and the proposed key smoothness in your database, and allow the user to select allowed values for each? Or even weights for each combination? There could be default profiles for road bike or city bike or mountain bike. Of course there are other combinations and possbilities and we are evaluating those, but this shall serve as a first start ... What immediately comes to my mind as a feature request for (much :) later versions are downloading the caclulated route as gpx track or (optional) route and via-points I agree. I just used the service to create a route for me and was a little disappointed I couldn't download it as gpx. One other problem I had is that it seems to have a preference for routing against the oneway direction on dual carriage ways. Or does it just disregard oneway?

Hi, This may be unrealistic, but maybe you can include tracktype, surface and the proposed key smoothness in your database, and allow the user to select allowed values for each? Or even weights for each combination? There could be default profiles for road bike or city bike or mountain bike. I personally would like it, but it would be a usability nightmare; the average computer user expects that the machine obeys the do what I want paradigm :) . [...] I agree. I just used the service to create a route for me and was a little disappointed I couldn't download it as gpx. The problem is that various software and hardware expects it in different formats (gpx is not gpx :) . For example, Maemo Mapper takes a gpx track as a Route. The waypoints with turn by turn recommendations are just trackpoints with a desc-tag set. OTOH, it is a bit picky about other (valid) tags. If something appears it didn't expect (maybe a waypoint in a track) it denies to accept the file. Some GPSr devices can use gpx routes, some can use gpx tracks. I remember that www.radroutenplaner.nrw.de once gave me a track which I manually had to edit to make it run on an eTrex Venture Cx. Currently it doesn't give me a usable file at all. It's worth a look anyway. In either case it is a very time consuming task to find a file format that provides the most benefit for as many users as possible. I guess the best one for starting a download was a track just consisting of the trackpoints.

Hi List, www.OpenRouteService.org now supports Bicycle Routing with OSM Data www.OpenRouteService.org (ORS) offers not only pedestrian and fastest and shortes routing based on the OpenGIS Open Location Service specifications (OGC OpenLS), but also bicycle routing for the whole of Germany. The OpenStreetMap data needs to be preprocessed a big deal in order to calculate a topological street network valid for routing. This processing generates currently about 2 million street segements for Germany (from originally about 900.000 streets). The routing is now based on the A-star algorithm and which improved the performance in spite of the increasing data. Further extensions are in work and planned. Currently the following keys are used for car routing: - highway with value = motorway, motorway_link, trunk, trunk_link, primary, primary_link, secondary, tertiary, unclassified, residential, service/access=yes and living_street - motorcar=yes/no - oneway - junction Currently the following keys are used for pedestrian routing: - highway with value = all car highway values (without motorway/-link), track, service, bridleway, cycleway, footway, pedestrian and steps - foot=yes/no Currently the following keys are used for bycycle routing: - highway with value = all car highway values (without motorway/-link), track, service, bridleway, cycleway, pedestrian and footway - bicycle=yes/no - work in progress: tracktype Of course there are other combinations and possbilities and we are evaluating those, but this shall serve as a first start ... We are interested in your feedback! So far the service is restricted to Germany only, we will add more later.
