OSMrouter

Find routes using OpenStreetMap data.

ATTENTION: The current API of OpenRouteService.org was reworked. THIS plugin isn't working anymore. Please use OSM tools

Synopsis

This plugin provides an easy way to get routes from Address A to B via C. Furthermore you can create polygons which represents isochrones.

Usage

For route creation type an address for start and destination. You can add a "via" address if you like. A temporary shapefile for the addresses will be created as well. The routing algorithm can be controlled using type of travel ("car", "bicycle", "pedestrian") and can diferentiate between fastest and shortest ways. The API from Openrouteservice.org will allow 1000 calls per hour. The route will be created as a temporary shapefile as well.

Isochrone mapping is possible for a maximum of 30min travel time. You can choose between Recursive Grid (more accurate, slower) and TIN (faster).

All files need to be saved seperately when needed for further analysis.

Installation

• Download the source and place it in the '/.qgis2/python/plugins/OSMroute' folder
  (Windows: 'C:\Users{username}.qgis2\python\plugins\OSMroute')
