[OSRM-talk] osrm route directly from command line not via http possible?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Michael,

Take a look at this.

https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/blob/master/tools/simpleclient.cpp

I have used it to wrap OSRM into some VRP code. I also recommend using 
osrm-datastore to host the data, then you can make multiple parallel 
request to that and we were getting 5-8ms responses to route queries.
