Routing with OSRM and GraphHopper

Features

Geofabrik operates routing servers based on the open source software Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) and GraphHopper. Both make use of state-of-the-art routing algorithms and can compute routes across Europe within milliseconds. Our customers can use both the OSRM and the GraphHopper APIs. The following table provides an overview about the key differences of the two services.

OSRM GraphHopper
profiles car car, truck, foot
routing yes yes
matrix yes no
isochrones no yes
map matching yes (limited number of vertices) yes
user defined profile modifications no limited (see documentation)
turn restrictions yes car and truck only
turn by turn instructions yes yes

The OpenStreetMap data used by the routing engines are updated regularly.

Customised Routing – Server Setup and Software Engineering

It is no issue if your request is off the mainstream or you need more resources. If requested, we install several open source routing engines on your hardware or run them on dedicated servers we rent for you. It is not limited to OSRM only, we offer GraphHopper, Valhalla and BRouter as well.

No use case is like any other use case. If requested, we adapt routing engines to your needs. This includes the development of new or the modification of existing routing profiles for different vehicle types or returning additional attributes of roads available in OpenStreetMap. We have even fulfilled niche use cases such as railway routing.
