Annotation of qmapshack/routino/pkg/DESCR, Revision 1.1

1.1     ! kirby       1: Routino is an application for finding a route between two points using
        !             2: the dataset of topographical information collected by
        !             3: http://www.OpenStreetMap.org.
        !             4:
        !             5: This router uses a routing algorithm that takes OSM format data as its
        !             6: input and calculates either the shortest or quickest route between two
        !             7: points. To optimise the routing a custom database format is used. This
        !             8: allows the routing to be performed quickly after a modest one-off
        !             9: pre-processing stage.
        !            10:
        !            11: A selection is possible for any of the major OSM transport types and for
        !            12: each of the main OSM highway types a preference can be provided and a
        !            13: speed limit. Restrictions on one-way streets, weight, height, width and
        !            14: length are also options. Further preferences about road properties (e.g.
        !            15: paved or not) can also be selected.
        !            16:
        !            17: The processing of the input XML file is based on rules in a
        !            18: configuration file that transform the highway tags into tags that are
        !            19: understood by Routino. The generation of the output files (HTML and GPX)
        !            20: uses language fragments selected from another configuration file which
        !            21: allows multi-lingual output from the same database.
        !            22:
        !            23: The router takes into account private/public/permissive restrictions on
        !            24: highways as well as tagged speed limits and barriers (gates, bollards).
        !            25: The simplest and most common turn restriction relations (those composed
        !            26: of a way, node and way) are also supported.
