Overview
Openrouteservice is a route planner service written in Java. It uses an edited fork of GraphHopper 4.0 and builds its routing on free OpenStreetMap data. Applications call it through an API to get directions for different modes of transport, areas reachable from a location, and travel time and distance matrices.
Key features
- Directions for different transport modes
- Isochrones showing areas reachable from a location
- Matrix service for time and distance
- Snapping service to place coordinates on the road network
- Export of the base graph, plus health and status endpoints
Best for
Developers who want a self-hostable routing API on OpenStreetMap data, covering directions, reachability and matrices.
