Very nice!
I haven’t looked into the code yet, but I’m especially interested in the routing bit.
As a cyclist I’m almost always disappointed by google, apple, and Valhalla. The cycling directions from these systems are usually better than nothing, but almost always have one or two dangerous or ridiculous segments.
I’ve never tried to solve it myself, only day dreamed.
Any insights?
- ellenhp 4y agoHeadway uses Valhalla. Most of what I'm doing with this project is the config to bring up the entire stack easily.
- jhgb 4y ago> As a cyclist I’m almost always disappointed by google, apple, and Valhalla Have you tried the OSRM bike config? (The one you find in https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/blob/master/profiles/bicycle.lua https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/blob/master/pro...)
- Doctor_Fegg 4y agoYou might want to look into https://cycle.travel/ https://cycle.travel/ (my site!), https://brouter.de/brouter-web https://brouter.de/brouter-web, Komoot or RideWithGPS - all do OpenStreetMap-powered bike directions. Getting bike routing right is really challenging, partly because often there genuinely isn’t a good route, and partly because standards and infrastructure (and OSM mapping practice!) differ from country to country. I love the challenge and the feedback from users when it works well, but it’s a massive task.
- tmp538394722 4y agoI just did a quick test of cycle.travel using the last couple trips I took, and it’s pretty good! It’s anecdotal, but definitely better than what I’m seeing with Val halla / google / apple. Can you share any details about how your route finding works?
