Hi João, pgRouting (http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/) uses the alpha-shape algorithm of the CGAL library for its driving distance calculation. This is not the perfect solution, because this part of CGAL is released under QPL, which is in general incompatible with GPL ... except you are the copyright owner and add an exception. http://www.cgal.org/license.html --> see GPL-QPL Incompatibility Note If possible I would avoid using CGAL. It can be also annoying to install (my personal experience). Daniel -- Daniel Kastl Orkney, Inc.
