[HOT] OpenRouteService Disaster Map for Ecuador

[Milo van der Linden]

Nice, but have you considered joining up with f.i. OSMand? Perhaps offline
routing is more reliable in a crisis situation where first responders can
download routing data in the basecamps and then use it during operations.

I have got the feeling that now is a good time to drop the "not invented
here" tradition that seems so common at universities across the globe. No
offense meant. I just hope for cooperations from which a larger audience
might benefit.

Kind regards,

Milo
