Annotation of qmapshack/routino/pkg/DESCR, Revision 1.1.1.1

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.
