OpenRouteService.org now supports POI search, GPX download of generated routes and enhanced route instructions
Hi list, searching for specific POIs (locations such as hotels, restaurants, ATM machines or toilets) is the typical application for location based services (LBS). For that purpose the OpenLS directory service specification is available as open standard. OpenRouteService.org supports now this interface for searching a wide range of points of interest wihtin a given distance from any location (currently only in Germany, UK will be added soon) Further enhancements of OpenRouteService.org include the download of calculated routes as GPX files and extended route instructions for german and english (indicated by de* or en*): Objects that intersect the route such as traffic lights or (small) roundabouts are now mentioned in the instruction. (currently only in Germany, UK will be added soon) cheers pascal _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
