[OSRM-talk] Time-to-destination on OSRM is too short
The time-to-destination shown on the public OSRM router seems to be much too short. e.g. For the route from Sheffield to Nottingham, via Chesterfield (UK), OSRM says it will take 42 minutes. That is not a realistic time at all. Even if you drive as fast as possible (breaking the speed limit on the motorway, where there are no speedcams) it is likely to take at least 60 minutes. Google's routing says it will take 58 minutes, which is much nearer the minimum possible time. However that is still shorter than the actual time it takes for a normal driver in normal traffic. Looking at the OSM data, it does look as if there is missing maxspeed data on some of the roads involved (but the maxspeed on the major length of motorway is correctly tagged), but presumably OSRM uses sensible scaled down defaults, relative to the way type, in that case? Any suggestions as to how to help to get the public OSRM server to give more realistic times? ___ OSRM-talk mailing list OSRM-talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osrm-talk
[OSM-talk] How to move Potlatch map to specific coordinates whilst editing (without zooming out)?
Is there any way to move the map to a specific coordinates whilst editing in Potlatch and stay at the same zoom level? I know 1 way, which is to enter the coordinates into the search box, select the coordinates item from the search list and then say Cancel when it asks if you want to move away form the current page. A bit clunky, but it does work, but unfortunately the zoom level it then chooses for the new coordinates is quite small, so it then tries to download vast amounts of data (which can cause crashes/restarts of Potlatch or use up all the allowable bandwidth). This method would be liveable with if it didn't zoom out so much. Is there any easier way to do this that I haven't noticed?
