In plain words

Configurable Route Planning is a routing tool that lets users customize navigation preferences, such as avoiding left turns and specific areas. Launched in 2020, it's built on GraphHopper's platform and suits anyone who wants more control over their travel routes. The standout feature is the ability to configure multiple avoidance parameters beyond standard routing, making it useful for delivery drivers, commercial fleets, or users with specific navigation constraints.

I invite you to try a planned feature for 1.0 which is now in a usable shape. It allows you to heavily customize the existing vehicle profiles without any Java knowledge. And not only per-request but also for the CH and LM preparations. As there is no documentation except the PR itself and the tests I would appreciate your feedback about the usage and what is unclear or even your first custom profiles . Have hacked together an interesting feature where we can avoiding certain turns like left_turns. Currently it still has some unexpected behaviour (for T-junctions) and is rather slow for longer routes, as the junction calculation stuff is done while the graph exploration, but it is really…from discuss.graphhopper.com

    Bike route planner that follows almost only official bike trails2024 · trailimap.com · ▲279

    Hey guys, I built a route planner that is mostly focused on bike touring and using existing bike infrastructure. For each request you're shown what bike tracks/trails your route uses and can further explore them by showing them on map or going to the official trail route. The main idea for the app is to have a friendly and easy to use planner that would make heavy use of official bike trails data (mainly from OpenStreetMap) and make it easy to plan a longer trip using the best possible bike routes out there. Currently the app only works for the Euro region but I'm planning to add North…

    Hi HN! I built Routing24 to make route optimization easier and accessible for small businesses and solo drivers. With Google Maps, you can plan routes between a few locations for free, but it doesn’t support efficient multi-stop planning, handling multiple vehicles, or adding specific business rules like delivery time windows. Many tools offer route optimization for around $30 per vehicle per month, but Routing24 provides it completely free. Optimization happens fully on the client-side, using your device’s resources instead of cloud servers. The interface is simple for now: you can…
