Axios used OSRM to analyze how far millions of Americans would need to drive to register to vote under the proposed SAVE Act — routing every 5-mile cell in the U.S. to its nearest elections office.
Their finding: 5M+ voting-age Americans would face 1+ hour drives. The average: ~20 minutes.
Open-source routing, real-world impact. 🗺️

We have a talk to give.
OSRM at #SOTM2026. The state of the project. The roadmap. The road ahead.
OSM deserves a routing engine that truly understands it. One built around how OSM actually works, not one that treats it as just another data format. OSRM has always been that engine.
The comeback kid takes the stage.

We’ve been experimenting with an isochrone endpoint today and it’s shaping up nicely.
Still experimental, but a fun Friday afternoon rabbit hole. Watch this space. 🗺️

📚 OSRM’s API documentation just got a fresh new look!
Clean design, easy navigation, and all six services covered — Route, Table, Map Matching, Trip Planning, Nearest, and Tile. Whether you’re just getting started or looking something up, it’s never been nicer to use. 🗺️✨

@awinkler for which region? For car only routing there exist several (#graphhopper, #osrm, #valhalla ), for transit routing, data availability is still an issue. The #transitous project is the largest free instance I‘m aware of. For smaller regions, you might self-host e.g. an #OpenTripPlanner or #MOTIS instance https://transitous.org/

OSRM v26.4.1 is out 🗺️
This maintenance release fixes a memory regression in preprocessing, adds routing support for escalators and moving walkways, improves winter and ice road handling in the car profile, and ships native ARM64 Docker images.

The OSRM debug tile view is getting a proper glow-up.
Speed annotations, directional arrows, node IDs, and segment weights are now laid out in a way that's actually readable at zoom. If you've ever stared at a debug tile trying to figure out why a route looked wrong, this one's for you.
Coming in the next release. #OSRM #OpenStreetMap #routing

OSM, Graphopper и все все все
Введение Думаю, все согласятся с утверждением, что в современном мире логистической компании трудно обойтись без маршрутизации. Да, можно планировать все поездки руками, но с ростом объема работ это делать становиться все труднее и труднее. Не спасают ни записные книжки, ни электронные таблицы, ни даже записи в базе данных. Увеличивается количество ошибок. И появляется случаи доставки отправления не в назначенный Саратов, а в Норильск. Выясняется это уже на месте, производится возврат отправления на что тратятся ресурсы компании. Маршрутизация, волшебное слово, но с чего начать?

🔧 We've simplified dependency management in OSRM‘s backend.
Moved to a single vcpkg-based workflow across Linux, macOS, Windows, and Docker.
Result: faster CI, reproducible builds, fewer platform quirks, and much easier dependency updates. Vendored copies removed and build setup cleaned up.
One path, less maintenance, more reliability.

Spotted in the Tesla Model Y owner's manual: OSRM credited right alongside OpenStreetMap.
We were pretty surprised when we first found this. The beer from Tesla never arrived, but the credit is right there in the manual.
Every person who ever merged a PR, filed an issue, or wrote a line of routing code: your work is literally on the road.

Working on modernizing the OSRM demo frontend. We are switching to vector tiles using MapLibre GL JS and the OSMF tile infrastructure, moving toward a fully open stack.
Still early, more previews soon. 😀

#TBT to 2013, when @WIRED first wrote about us. 🗺️ What started as a spare-time project has grown into something none of us could have imagined alone. A decade of open-source routing, and counting. Thank you, community. ❤️ #OSRM #OpenStreetMap https://www.wired.com/2013/11/osrm/

#rstats osrm.backend 0.2 is out.
I fixed a bug that might have caused lockup if you tried to calculate too large origin-destination matrices. Should work just fine now! (though there is a limit of course, as it works over REST API, but parallel requests are your friend).

Tein pikku oppaan päivän ( ja yön) agendasta, eli #OSRM käyttöönotosta Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS -serverille ja integraatio #nextcloud -pilven kanssa. Kikkailujen ja säätöjen jälkeen toimii.

Hey #OpenStreetMap peeps, how can I debug this strange routing behavior?
#GraphHopper & #OSRM make a simple left turn (correct), while #Valhalla and #OsmAnd act as if there's a turn restriction and make a U-turn instead.
This is at 51.73201° N, 9.97389° E, coming from north on B3 and going to the east on A7.
There's been a construction site here a few weeks ago, so my first suspicion was stale data, but even with OsmAnd Live it still does it.
I can't see any restrictions in the data. Ideas?

Was hat der #OpenStreetMap-OSRM-Router eigentlich geraucht?
•#Fahrradroute #Grasshopper: 5,4 km
•#Fahrradroute #Valhalla: 5,3 km, dafür an einer Stelle über eine Straße voller Autos
•Fahrradroute #OSRM: 7,1 km, immer schön die Radwege parallel zur Bundesstraße🚗 , oder die Bundesstraße direkt, oder die »gravel«-Fusswege durch die Wiese in der Nähe der Bundesstraßen-Anschlussstelle. 🤦🏼»Also hier rechts«
»Nein, nein, geradeaus. Ist zwar weiter, dafür gibt’s aber auch mehr Autoverkehr.« -
