What cheap represents depends on the software, the data loaded (traffic, elevation etc) and somewhat the user preferences (OSRM/GM less, Valhalla/Graphhopper more). It’s pretty complex and you’d need to dig deep to get the full<caret></caret> answer to the question “what’s influencing ETA?”. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><span style="color: var(--text-color); background: var(--bg-color);" dir="auto">All the best</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="color: var(--text-color); background: var(--bg-color);" dir="auto">Nils </span></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><br><div><br></div> <div id="protonmail_mobile_signature_block"><div>Sent from <a href="https://proton.me/mail/home">Proton Mail</a> for iOS</div></div> <div><br></div><div><br></div>On Sat, Nov 4, 2023 at 17:16, Alessandro Faraguna <<a class="" href="mailto:On Sat, Nov 4, 2023 at 17:16, Alessandro Faraguna <<a href=">ajofaraguna@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote type="cite" class="protonmail_quote"> <div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>my name is Alessandro and I have recently started using osrm through its great R package (osrmr).
