Re: Routing website using Gosmore routing engine

Hey Lambertus,

I'm trying to set up a gosmore-based "routing backend" - I guess quite similar to yours - and I'm running into a lot of frustrating little issues, mostly due to missing documentation.

Currently I'm trying to get routing to work for "outside germany", but creating a .pak file for say europe is impossible on 32 bit hardware (needs more than the addressable 2G Ram), my local system only runs 32bit, and Amazon EC2 is giving me major headaches.

I guess I'll get it done at some point, and I'll document how I got it done, but I wonder - how do you build the .pak files, do you split into limited boxes before, and what about "international routing"?

As I need the routing to be able to cross box borders (i.e. from Hamburg to Stockholm), I think there's a lot of stuff that needs to be done to make this happen?

I've read the gosmore rebuild page on the osm wiki, but somehow I can't make it fit to the current dev state... *scratchinghead*

Any advise welcome.

I've also noted that headless support was broken by some Android changes, but I was able to edit around them and will discuss that with "the author" (I guess Nic) by mail.

I guess a mailing list could or dedicated message board would be really helpful for the project 🤔
