Dear OSM community,<br>
<br>
in case you are not of aware of this we want to point out that after
some years with less ORS related acitvities we finally managed to
rise a completely new OpenRouteService from the ashes :-)<br>
Both the back- and frontend have been conceptually and technically
totally renewed.
<br>
Your welcome to test the service @ our usual URL: <br>
<a href="http://www.openrouteservice.org">www.openrouteservice.org</a>
<p>The most important features :<br>
- OpenRouteService is now available for all of Europe, Asia,
Africa and Oceania/Australia !<small><a

</small>- 7 different and enhanced routing profiles for cars,
bikes and pedestrians (more to come)<br>
- faster implementation<br>
- automated weekly data update<br>
- completely new implementation of accessibility analysis (more
realistic isochrone maps)<br>
- new WebClient with support for AvoidAreas, Import/Export of GPX
etc. - Check the Advanced version from the Options page<br>
- support for many international languages for directions <br>
- base map styles from OpenMapSurfer and OSM-WMS.de et al.<br>
- deployment on a new, stronger server<br>
...<br>
