Routing website using Gosmore routing engine

According to the documentation you can’t search for cities/suburbs specifically. Toying with the search term might help a bit, providing e.g. “Eastern Creek 1, NSW, Australia” gives a different result.

Thanks. I will actually be using the API btw, but I haven’t tried it yet. It looks like there is hope - Nominatum allows me to query by city name (e.g city=“Eastern Creek”), and that DOES return the city information, including the coordinates of the centre point - it’s the centre point that I want! :slight_smile: Am I missing something?

Back on the yournavigation.org demo site - I’ve noticed something very odd. If I compare the travel times between two identical routes, but using Fastest and Shortest, the travel time using Shortest is significantly less than Fastest. An example route is between “Newport, NSW” and “Avalon, NSW”. The Fastest and Shortest routes look identical, but there is a huge discrepancy in the travel time. (290s for Fastest, 126s for Shortest). Vehicle type is Motorcar.

EDIT: Sorry - I see that someone else has already reported this, here: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=370782#p370782

I’m finding that the Fastest algorithm seems to give more realistic times than Shortest.

Hello Lambertus, and great thanks for all the work!
I’ve got a question: does it still make sense to post weird routes here? There is one I’d like to find a solution for, but it’s unclear whether posting it will solve anything, because page says that “there’s no need to add more weird routes”, despite of the fact that last of the weird routes was added in 2009.

Hi! Quoting the site: “Routing data from planet file: 2014-09-02”. Almost 9 months old. Any plans to update?

I can not create a route from the city to other cities. Only in the city or in the countryside. How to fix it?

The permalink feature is broken. :-/ the site creates this url, for instance:

http://www.yournavigation.org/?flat=48.115988357362&flon=11.539904679628&wlat=48.061515198474&wlon=11.514162324098&wlat=47.960801409701&wlon=11.443781159559&wlat=47.79223879261&wlon=11.467813752329&wlat=47.644990457254&wlon=11.362413666874&wlat=47.386216975065&wlon=11.25941684071&wlat=47.296182944794&wlon=10.917467377833&wlat=47.282454254816&wlon=10.814604662113&wlat=46.969191946998&wlon=11.008582018056&wlat=46.717571153137&wlon=11.337313554875&tlat=46.494589502492&tlon=11.340145967614&v=motorcar&fast=1&layer=mapnik

when reused, all of the intermediate waypoints will have the same lat/lon as the “from” lat/lon points. effectively, all intermediate points are present in the url, but lost when the url is rendered.

Hi Lambertus,
I still use your API. But it does not work for several days or weeks…
So I get the ansver:
“Server not ready to process requests. Please try again later.”
for any browsers, regions and requests. For example:
http://www.yournavigation.org/api/dev/route.php?flat=44.93857849201759&flon=34.10297329845174&tlat=44.95228352024582&tlon=34.0976174613954&v=foot&fast=0&layer=mapnik&instructions=1
http://144.76.224.55/api/dev/route.php?flat=44.93857849201759&flon=34.10297329845174&tlat=44.95228352024582&tlon=34.0976174613954&v=foot&fast=0&layer=mapnik&instructions=1
Will they answer as expected?

Hi Lambertus,
I have found that it works without parameter &v=foot
For example http://www.yournavigation.org/api/dev/route.php?flat=48.115988357362&flon=11.539904679628&tlat=46.494589502492&tlon=11.340145967614&fast=0&layer=mapnik&instructions=1
instead of close:
http://www.yournavigation.org/api/dev/route.php?flat=44.93857849201759&flon=34.10297329845174&tlat=44.95228352024582&tlon=34.0976174613954&fast=0&layer=mapnik&instructions=1&v=foot
Or it works with parameter &v=motorcar
http://www.yournavigation.org/api/dev/route.php?flat=48.115988357362&flon=11.539904679628&tlat=46.494589502492&tlon=11.340145967614&fast=0&layer=mapnik&instructions=1&v=motorcar
What should I do?
What is the problem for foot?.

Lambertus is not available since some months. Not sure if he will read your questions at all. Sorry …

could you please share that gosmore.php file?

Thanks

Is the YOURS API dead? It seems very broken right now.

Bike directions in one part of world succeed:
http://www.yournavigation.org/api/1.0/gosmore.php?format=kml&flat=52.215676&flon=5.963946&tlat=52.2573&tlon=6.1799&v=bike&fast=0

But move those to a different part of world, and get 404.
http://www.yournavigation.org/api/1.0/gosmore.php?format=kml&flat=37.428013&flon=-122.084970&tlat=37.427331&tlon=-122.082996&v=bike&fast=0

Now try ‘foot’ for either of those locations, and get 503.
http://www.yournavigation.org/api/1.0/gosmore.php?format=kml&flat=52.215676&flon=5.963946&tlat=52.2573&tlon=6.1799&v=foot&fast=0
http://www.yournavigation.org/api/1.0/gosmore.php?format=kml&flat=37.428013&flon=-122.084970&tlat=37.427331&tlon=-122.082996&v=foot&fast=0

Everything working properly

Hi,
I’m sponsoring the http://www.yournavigation.org/ server for some years now, and try to maintain the operation by installing security patches and blocking IPs that exceed the rate limits, since I’ve lost contact to Lambertus. As both, the OSM data (2014-09-02) and the Gosmore source code (2011-02-21) are quite outdated, and as there are actively developed alternatives like http://project-osrm.org/ I decided do take down the server next month on 2021-02-01.
If you want to take over the server (about 42 Euros + VAT), feel free to get in touch with me. Otherwise let’s say goodbye to yournavigation.org.
Jürgen.

Hallo, wie kann ich dich kontaktieren? Gruß Michael

Hallo Jürgen, please tell me your Contact Email, we have a quations and angebot for you. Thank you.

Hallo Jürgen, ich würde den Server eventuell übernehmen, bitte um Rückmeldung per (michaelpromap@gmail.com) Danke dir!
