CloudMade Navigation Supports Maneuver Restrictions
Not so long ago, CloudMade identified several priority areas, among which there was navigation. It was decided to create a special project Navi Studio , which would combine several smaller services and allow them to be used to create full-fledged navigation software. Navi Studio includes:
Immediately after the launch, small defects were found, which are now in the editing stage, but in general, the routes are built very well and in urban conditions give excellent results. In addition to the limitations of maneuvers, the “turn penalty” mechanism was also included, which for example does not allow you to turn around at the intersection if there is a not very long road without turns to the destination.
What's next?
I think the day is not far off when CloudMade will announce support for TMC, traffic jams and the search for the best path, taking into account the travel history.
- Navigation engine
- Vector Stream server
- Local search
- Geocoding
