Use Valhalla instead of Graphhopper?

Open wkulesza opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Since valhalla is now open-source project and performs better than graphhopper (especially since there's bus profile in valhalla) I was wondering if its easy to setup so that DataTools uses valhalla to send requests and obtain shapes raather than graphhopper. Since the file is called valhalla.js i assume it was used before. Anybody has any hints? @miles-grant-ibigroup ?

That's a great question! That I sadly don't know the answer to. Maybe @landonreed @demory @abyrd?

Yea, I think this project used to use Mapbox's Valhalla routing service before GraphHopper. If you look deeper into the git history file you can probably dig up the old way and update your fork to use that, but I don't recall whether data tools relies on any new fields from graphhopper that valhalla doesn't have.
