Hey Rupert, thanks for the suggestion! Red cross could benefit from good and up-to-date routing and you can promote GraphHopper - would be very kind of you :) !
Maybe they could even have interests in some custom routing server (like for trucks or similar) but they probably need more an offline routing. This is also possible with GraphHopper but the end-user-app is not yet there (one external app called cruiser beta integrates GraphHopper and Locus has an alpha version plugin) Kind Regards, Peter. > hi, i am from wikimedia ch and we plan to begin cooperation talks with > the red cross. would this topic fit in there somehow? > > rupert > > Am 18.07.2014 18:33 schrieb "Peter" <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>>: > > Hey there, > > I'm not sure if this is the best way to reach out for help from > African community - let me know if it is not :) > > I'm the author of GraphHopper an Open Source Routing Engine based > on OSM data - you can try it here: > http://graphhopper.com/maps/ > > Now I'm looking for some Africans who would have interests in > contributing to GraphHopper or trying it for local routes or > translating or similar. > > The main problem I can think of is to parse and recognize all tags > properly, it can be different even per country.
