GraphHopper Routing Engine

GraphHopper is a fast and memory-efficient routing engine released under Apache License 2.0. It can be used as a Java library or standalone web server to calculate the distance, time, turn-by-turn instructions and many road attributes for a route between two or more points. Beyond this "A-to-B" routing it supports "snap to road", Isochrone calculation, mobile navigation and more. GraphHopper uses OpenStreetMap and GTFS data by default and it can import other data sources too.

Installation

To install the GraphHopper Maps UI and the web service locally you need a JVM (>= Java 17) and do:

wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/graphhopper/graphhopper-web/11.0/graphhopper-web-11.0.jar \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/11.x/config-example.yml \
  http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany/berlin-latest.osm.pbf
java -D"dw.graphhopper.datareader.file=berlin-latest.osm.pbf" -jar graphhopper*.jar server config-example.yml

After a while you see a log message with 'Server - Started', then go to http://localhost:8989/ and you'll see a map of Berlin. You should be able to right click on the map to create a route.

See the documentation that contains e.g. the elevation guide and the deployment guide.
