Isochrone center cannot be set as "destination" #171

Closed pcopissa closed 6 months ago

pcopissa commented 2 years ago

According to ORS isochropne API (https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/api-docs/v2/isochrones/{profile}/post) it is possible to use the optional field location_type to specify that the points in the locations field are destinations (that is, the output isochrone is the set of points from which we can reach the location in less than X minutes or meters). However the default is start (that is, the output is the set of points reachable in less than X minutes, starting from the location). There is no GUI widget (or any other way ?) to specify that the locations should be destinations.

Expectation is that there should be a way to specify which type of location is desired.

Hey,

yes, the QGIS plugin is unfortunately not feature complete in regard to the API, and it is not something we're currently working on. We'll happily review a pull request implementing this, though :)

Best regards
