A simple command to calculate travel distance and travel time
| Résumé |
Obtaining the routing distance between two addresses should not be a
hassle with current technology. Unfortunately, this is more
complicated than it first seems. Recently, several commands have
been implemented for this purpose (traveltime, traveltime3, mqtime,
osrmtime), but most of them became obsolete only a few months after
their introduction or appear complicated to use. In this article,
we introduce the community-contributed command georoute, which
retrieves travel distance and travel time between two points
defined either by their addresses or by their geographical
coordinates. Compared with other existing commands, it is simple to
use, efficient in terms of computational speed, and versatile
regarding the information that can be provided as input. |
