Hi, this idea comes up every now and then. It does not make sense, though. OSRM is a server based engine, i.e. running it on a client does not reflect the purpose. For example, the amount of data that is handleable on in a JavaScript VM is tiny compared to what's possible a native server daemon.
However, one can run routing on the client. But then I would recommend a tool that has been designed for browsers. Unfortuantely, OSRM is not that tool. --Dennis Am 28.04.2013 um 21:36 schrieb Jeffrey Mealo <[email protected]>: > Has any thought been given to porting just the routing engine to JavaScript > to allow routing without a data connection? > > I realize that JavaScript doesn't have very good support for binary out of > the box; however, WebGL appears to show some progress in this regard. > > Emscripten could also be an option (Converts C++ to JavaScript).
