I've been using their API just last week. As far as I know, this is the only free service for driving distances that can be used with maps other than Google's.

- mayneack 11y agoopen street map?
- sehugg 11y agoYeah, mentioning MapQuest without regards to their OSM efforts seems like a bit of an omission. Intentional or no? http://open.mapquest.co.uk/ http://open.mapquest.co.uk/
- porjo 11y agoOpenstreetmap doesn't provide driving distances or routing itself. Project OSRM uses Openstreetmap data to provide this service: http://project-osrm.org/ http://project-osrm.org/
- maxerickson 11y agoThere are many projects[1] and services[2] using OSM data for route planning. As your sibling comment mentions, Mapquest Open is among them.

- porjo 11y agoI don't disagree. mayneack indicated that he/she thought OSM provided an API for driving distances (they don't).
- karussell 11y agoThe services from GraphHopper are free too and the core router is even open source too. (It is based on OpenStreetMap)
