Need some hints about road class #7

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I have one more question. I wat thinking to add in your lib that my app reads 
road, but instead of reading turn by turn information I wan't that it reads 
place by place information. Can you give me some hint's how to do it.

I was thinking to use nominatim classes and reverse geocoding I hope that this 
will be useful.

I hope that I don't bother you with so many questions.

It depends on what you expect as "place by place information". 

If for each road node you want to have its address, road services like MapQuest 
and OSRM don't provide it. So effectively you can use reverse geocoding API to 
get it. 

But you may encounter a performance issue, having to do many reverse geocoding 
requests (one for each node) ...

I was thinking on place as a city or village. I need to show routes between 
cities and villages in my country using dijkstra algorithm. I'm not sure how to 
do it, it seems that reverse geocoding is good solution for that, but I'm not 
sure how to use it with dijkstra algorithm which will connect cities.

I'm still not sure to really understand what you want to obtain. 

But if you plan to implement dijkstra algorithm yourself, you are going far 
beyond my competencies, and I will not be able to provide you any help on 
that... 

I have the feeling that OSRM project could be quite close from what you want.

Thanks for your reply and for your patience. I will try to see documentation 
from OSRM  project.

Best regards.

Hello Mathieu,

me again. I just want to say thanks. Why? Your lib helped me to graduate on my 
faculty. If you ever come to Croatia I will be glad to be your host. 

Best regards.
