This node uses the Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) to create a distance matrix for the provided origins and destinations. The matrix is created by pairing each input origin with each input destination and will contain the driving travel distance and time as well as the route for each pair. The travel distance unit is meter and the estimated drive time is returned in minutes.
OSRM is a C++ implementation of a high-performance routing engine for shortest paths in road networks. It combines sophisticated routing algorithms with the open and free road network data of the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project.
If the input geometry is not a point geometry, the centroids will be automatically computed and used.
Usage Policy
Good practice and general limitations of the OSRM service that is used by this node can be found here. The current demo server is hosted by FOSSGIS which is subject to the usage policies and terms and conditions that can be found here.
