travel information API / geospatial data service

GraphHopper is a Java routing library and OpenStreetMap routing engine used to calculate optimal paths and driving directions. It provides a map matching engine for aligning GPS coordinate traces to road networks, a GTFS transit router for multi-modal travel, and a spatial analysis utility for isochrone generation. The project supports the creation of custom vehicle profiles and weighting logic to influence path calculations. It implements contraction hierarchies to accelerate pathfinding by reducing the search space between coordinates. The engine covers a broad range of geospatial capabili

Valhalla is an open-source routing engine that calculates optimal paths and travel times using OpenStreetMap data. It is built around a tiled routing graph framework, allowing map data to be organized into small geographic tiles for efficient regional updates and offline routing capability. The project distinguishes itself through a multimodal routing server that combines automobile, pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit modes into single journeys. It includes a GPS trace matching engine to align noisy coordinates to the most probable road network paths and an isochrone and matrix generator

This project is a Python client library for interacting with Google Maps web services to retrieve geospatial, routing, and place data. It provides a programmatic interface for developers to access geocoding, elevation, time zone, and point-of-interest services. The library implements automatic exponential backoff and request retries to handle intermittent server errors and rate limit exceedances. It manages communication through credential-based authentication and session-based connection pooling to reduce latency across repeated API calls. The capability surface covers bidirectional geocodi

This is a Ruby toolkit for converting addresses to geographic coordinates and performing reverse geocoding via multiple external API providers. It provides a library for integrating location services into Ruby applications, including an IP geolocation tool to translate IP addresses into coordinates, city names, and country data. The project includes a command line interface for bulk geocoding of database records with integrated rate limiting and a geospatial query engine for calculating distances and performing radius or bounding box searches. It also features a mocking framework that provide

Falcon is a minimalist Python web API framework and high-performance microservices framework. It serves as a resource-oriented API toolkit designed for building RESTful APIs and data plane services that prioritize low overhead, reliability, and scale. The framework implements an ASGI web server interface to handle both synchronous and asynchronous HTTP requests and WebSockets. It features a dedicated HTTP middleware system for intercepting network traffic and executing shared processing logic across multiple API endpoints. Its capability surface covers resource-based routing, HTTP specificat

gmaps is a library that provides a wrapper for the Google Maps API, serving as a geospatial data toolkit and interactive map renderer. It simplifies the integration of interactive maps into web applications by managing the embedding of map views and the lifecycle of markers. The project distinguishes itself through a specialized set of utilities for geocoding, which converts physical addresses to geographic coordinates and vice versa. It also includes a static map generator for creating non-interactive map images for lightweight environments. The capability surface covers geographic data vis

Dawarich is a self-hosted location history manager and travel journaling platform. It functions as a personal travel archive that collects GPS coordinates and movement data, providing a private alternative to proprietary tracking services. The system utilizes a PostgreSQL geospatial database to store coordinates, visits, and custom geofence boundaries. The project distinguishes itself as a geospatial data converter and visualization tool, capable of transforming location history between formats such as GPX, KML, and GeoJSON. It allows users to organize GPS tracks and geotagged photos into nam
