Dear all,<br>
<br>
maybe you have already noticed, but in case not, I just wanted to
make you aware of the latest update of <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://openrouteservice.org/">OpenRouteService</a> a few
days ago.<br>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p>First of all the backend of the service has been revamped,
and apart from making it faster, a new profile for different
types of heavy vehicles has been added. This includes the
sub-profiles forestry, agricultural and delivery vehicles as
well as buses and trucks. You can now also specify load
characteristics of a heavy vehicles (e.g., hazardous
materials) and further limitations (length, width, height,
weight..). <br>
</p>
<p>The ORS Accessibility Analysis now also works with
RecursiveGrid and TIN and returns isochrone maps (with holes).
Additional parameters allow you to specify intervals (in
minutes) which are shown in different colors.</p>
<p>The ORS Geocoding Service now offers requests for all over
the globe and also the option to find administrative polygons.<br>
</p>
<p>Further the client got a significant redesign and new
functionalities such as a novel route instructions list in
many (more) languages and the support of multiple GPX files.
Additionally, the set of avoid features have also been
extended. It offers means to ignore ferries, unpaved roads and
also steps.</p>
<p>Also sharing a route with your friends became simpler. Links,
containing the settings of a route, are being shortened using
the <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://bitly.com/">bitly.com</a>
service. Furthermore, a version control shows the latest
updates and information regarding the regularily updated graph
status. </p>
<p>thanks to the ORS team, az<br>
