Routing

The Routing Plugin offers a routing functionality to the user.

Scope

A user can select multiple waypoints by clicking on the map, which then are converted to an address, if a reverse geocoder is configured. If at least two waypoints have been added, the route is automatically calculated and displayed on the map.

The travel mode can be adjusted as well as the types of routes to avoid. Similarly, the route preference is set to 'recommended' by default, but can be changed to 'fastest' or 'shortest'.

Once a route is available, a detailed listing of every route segment is available including instructions, distance and duration.
