Dear all,
maybe you have already noticed, but in case not, I just wanted to make
you aware of the latest update of OpenRouteService
<http://openrouteservice.org/> a few days ago.
First of all the backend of the service has been revamped, and apart
from making it faster, a new profile for different types of heavy
vehicles has been added. This includes the sub-profiles forestry,
agricultural and delivery vehicles as well as buses and trucks. You can
now also specify load characteristics of a heavy vehicles (e.g.,
hazardous materials) and further limitations (length, width, height,
weight..).
The ORS Accessibility Analysis now also works with RecursiveGrid and TIN
and returns isochrone maps (with holes). Additional parameters allow you
to specify intervals (in minutes) which are shown in different colors.
The ORS Geocoding Service now offers requests for all over the globe and
also the option to find administrative polygons.
Further the client got a significant redesign and new functionalities
such as a novel route instructions list in many (more) languages and the
support of multiple GPX files. Additionally, the set of avoid features
have also been extended. It offers means to ignore ferries, unpaved
roads and also steps.
Also sharing a route with your friends became simpler. Links, containing
the settings of a route, are being shortened using the bitly.com
<https://bitly.com/> service. Furthermore, a version control shows the
latest updates and information regarding the regularily updated graph
status.
thanks to the ORS team, az
