OpenRouteService Becomes Routing Engine

  • Rating12345

Recently the new version 4.5.0 of the Linux-Desktop KDE has been published. The digital Globe “Marble” that is part of the KDE distribution has now route planning functionality. This is based on http://OpenRouteService.org (ORS) which is being developed at the Chair of GIScience (Geoinformatics) at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. ORS was the first cross-national routing service using the uer generated geodata by OpenStreetMap and offers a large set of options. This means that ORS is the routing service behind the third digital globe application; the others being the OpenGIS Web 3D Service (W3DS) Client ‘XNavigator’ in http://OSM-3D.org and the Java Version of NASA World Wind (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-zl70j6koE ). Marble ist can be downloaded for several operatig systems such as Linux, Windows and MacOS.
