OpenStreetMap launched routing
OpenStreetMap is an amazing project. It gathered a community of dedicated cartographers from all around the world, who voluntarily create and openly share the spatial data to the public. And it many cases OSM does it much better than Google and other commercial maps providers.
Starting this week OSM is getting even better. It now offers A-to-B directions. Lots of third-party apps and services have powered their directions using OpenStreetMap data for some time. Now OSM supports them as well. You can get directions for travel by bicycle, car or on foot. OpenStreetMap team hopes that adding directions will attract more people to actively use and contribute to the project. And we hope they will succeed.
