GraphHopper Routing Engine 7.0 released

We have public transport included: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper#public-transit

We currently don’t include this in our hosted solution due to various reasons but this might change in the future.

The New GraphHopper Maps

We won’t satisfy every user but you can already achieve this with a custom model. Click the gear icon to modify this or try e.g. this link as a start, which avoids asphalt as an example and reduces the speed to only 10% for cobblestone (just an example as we already decrease the speed by default significantly for this surface)

OpenStreetMap is currently free from duplicate nodes

Do you mean this one? https://github.com/bryceco/GoMap There seems to be a related issue: https://github.com/bryceco/GoMap/issues/206

Running JOSM on X86 without Oracle's JAVA

Another solution is adoptopenjdk

I also recommend this over other solutions: https://adoptopenjdk.net/

You can easily download stable releases and early adopter versions. If you need a JDK for server-side you can also use this in your CI via install-jdk.sh: https://github.com/sormuras/bach

Heather Leson: Lastly, I try very hard to not take offense to your innuendos that I am disrespectful

Thank you. I sometimes miss this attitude of “taking no offense” :) and I think this is one reason where a “community guide” can help.

imagico: The idea that the participants of this project are in need to be managed, … or otherwise ‘handled’ by professionals is in my eyes an affront to these fundamental goals of the project.

Why?

For example I agree with Heather in this matter. I “guide” a small but global community myself and when people from different countries and backgrounds come together there will be different assumptions and languages that can (sometimes) make a friendly communication harder. There needs to be someone that can interfere a discussion to ask for certain changes in communication or ask for clarification and if this is not done then he/she can even mute certain participants in extreme cases after e.g. 2 warnings or so. btw: this happened just once after several years, so this is rare and “freedom of opinion” is still guaranteed.

imagico: beneficial for the goals of the project you need to do more than just campaigning for it, you need to present facts

What do you mean here? “community management is not beneficial” or “the community will manage itself” or something else?

imagico: The idea that they need somehow to be managed and that doing so is not only beneficial but apparently more important than the core ideas

She said “key to our future”. It does not mean “more important than the core ideas”.

derFred: Gebetsmühlenartig wird die Behauptung “toxischer” Mailinglisten wiederholt.

When I started with OSM I was also really pissed off from the friendliness on one mailing list. And I was not even involved in the discussion and removed myself after a few days and never subscribed again to it. So the huge problem is: if you “piss off” somebody at this stage then she/he might leave OSM forever and you cannot easily find out why because of the diverse communication channels.

btw: I don’t think that this diversity of communication channels is good for the OSM community (forum, mailing list, diary comments, github issue trackers, IRC, wiki …) and a community guide would help the community to streamline this but he/she would not guide the decision.

Open Source Routing Engine GraphHopper 0.9 released

Thanks!

Because that feature of turn restrictions seems to be still missing on normal usage

Currently ‘just’ an UI thing we have to fix or append “&ch.disable=true” to the URL …

"Welcome-to-new-mappers" program in the Netherlands comes to an end.

Thanks Marc for still doing it in the first place :) !!

GPS Coordinate shortener: what3words vs Mapcode

Using a web service for this kind of algorithmic work makes no sense to me and I’m also in favour of open location code or ireland its ‘open post code’: http://www.openpostcode.org/

See here for a good comparison: https://github.com/google/open-location-code/blob/master/docs/comparison.adoc

Open Source Routing Engine GraphHopper 0.7 released

At least we need a warning for those if enabled. Maybe you contribute a pull request?

Open Source Routing Engine GraphHopper 0.7 released

@Alan: Thanks for the kind words!

@JBacc1: See the discussion about safety etc in this issue: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/issues/236

Mapping private subdivision roads and other gated roads

Author of a routing engine here: yes, please avoid mapping for the router. Customization of a routing engine which tags are allowed and which not should be easy. Also if there is a gate with a private tag then a “proper routing engine” would still avoid going through it.

Releasing GraphHopper 0.6

Yes, that is correct. Currently we have only the ‘speed mode’ deployed (this will change). See here for more information about this topic: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/#technical-overview
