Feature request: I’d like to have a way to set my default location/zoom level. Every time I open yournavigation.org it shows the world map, I always have to search for my location (the “share location” function doesn’t work; not sure why but it seems to be an ISP level issue as no other service can get my location reliably).
Any way to have this done? In my case specifically to set it to show Hong Kong.
Does anyone know of an open source routing api to use with a GPS tracking software. Friend at http://www.crowtracker.com is interested in routing solutions but its almost all american users. I see a bunch of web based ones like http://www.yournavigation.org/ etc but needs an API.
Routing database has been updated. Usage of yournavigation.org is slowly increasing: on some days it handles more then 550.000 unique route requests.
Edit September 8th: Some users informed me about a problem with some empty routing results. This is the result of a problem with one of the servers that handles route requests for Eurasia/Africa. This has now been fixed, I’m sorry for any inconvenience.
Linked some friends to yournavigation. They noticed a bug and figured out how to reproduce it: do another route request before the old one returned/completed.
They then took this to the next level
A couple creations:
I guess the easy fix is to check in Javascript whether a newer request already returned before showing the result of a random request. And clearing the map when the result returns instead of just when the request is made. Or we consider it art and leave it be
A small maintenance announcement. Tomorrow we will upgrade the Dutch OpenStreetMap infrastructure with a bit more recent hardware. This basically implies the existing yours server will be removed from the rack and there should be some DNS remapping done. While I can promise the new infrastructure will most likely be powered on at 11:00 CET, it is unlikely that yours will be running before Friday, main reason being: I could not get a hold of Lambertus in the last days.
Long story short:
The webfrontend (yournavigation.org) runs on a sponsored server, organised by the local (Dutch) OSM community.
I went on holiday, an email came in asking me to organise things so that a new infrastructure could be installed. A new infrastructure got installed and the old server removed. Then I came back from holiday, big surprise, lot’s of panic mails in my inbox.
I’ve got copies from the old server and trying to get access to the new one. Unfortunately the one person who organises this does not have time. I don’t know when everything will be back.
I’m afraid the timing and organisation of this hardware upgrade is poorly planned.
Hi Lambertus, and thanks for getting the service back online again. Unfortunately it is not working a 100% correctly since it came back online. Look at what the routing API returns as reported her [1]:
