In a previous post we described how to get started with customizable routing of the open source GraphHopper Routing Engine version 1.0. Today we’ll describe actual custom profiles by real world examples. Disclaimer: custom profiles should still be considered a beta feature. Using them should be working, but details about the weight formula and the […]

Today, after more than 8 years of work, we are releasing version 1.0 of the open source GraphHopper routing engine.

I.e. the Java code can be JDK 11 and include arbitrary libraries which is usually not possible when using Dalvik or […]

This blog post is about the experience I made when compiling the GraphHopper routing engine to a native executable using GraalVM. The GraphHopper routing engine is an open source project that uses the road network from OpenStreetMap and is able to calculate routes from A to B very fast and offers other features like isochrone […]
