Re: [OSM-dev] Question Regarding Libosmium
Hello Kyle, Yeah, I sent my reply to Jochen before I realized everything that libosmscout implements, like Jochen says in the description of libosmium it's meant for data manipulation, not for navigation. Libosmscout does everything that I need for my application. You and Jochen are both amazing programmers and very helpful; I am very grateful for the responses. Tim -- what is this API you speak of? See SimpleRoutingService, methods * GetClosestRoutableNode * GetClosestRoutableObject -- Gruß... Tim ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

Re: [OSM-dev] Question Regarding Libosmium
Hello everybody, Libosmium is not what you are looking for here. There are way too many things you'd have to implement yourself on top of libosmium. Have a look at https://github.com/Framstag/libosmscout , maybe that's something for you. Right. Libosmscout gives offers you most of the functionality to implement an offline application that make either use of map drawing, routing or location lookups (or all). Above functionality was always possible because of the database-like design that allows queries-like requests. Since recently there is also a special API for exactly this purpose. And also Jochen is right: Do not try to work on advanced functionalities like this by starting with an export file and code the rest yourself. Things will look easy at the start, but the more you work on it, the more you fill your TODO list with basic stuff. Use existing (framework) code for this. -- Gruß...
