pelias VS photon - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 15 Nov 2023
Photon by Komoot is also using Elasticsearch for validating addresses and locations.
-
Autocomplete address from google places and mapbox seem to be extremely expensive. Is there any other good alternatives?
Alternatively, you could run your own Photon API: https://github.com/komoot/photon

The New GraphHopper Maps Route Planner
Open Source. The routing server is open source too and geocoding too.
- What is the easiest way to deploy OSM on the premise? like nominatim.openstreetmap.org, but offline version.

GraphHopper Routing Engine - Open Source Route Planning
To fully self-host a route planner (e.g. a "Google Maps" equivalent) you need GraphHopper for the routing and two other parts: you also need some visualization aka "maps" (e.g. with OpenMapTiles) and you need the address search (e.g. with Photon).

Question about privacy with Waze vs GMaps
There exists photon, but I don't know if it's used in any libre mapping app.

PSA: Use Acastus-Photon for better search for maps apps like OsmAnd
Acastus-Photon is an Android app that allows you to search up any address or point of interest on OpenStreetMaps and open it in OsmAnd or any other maps app. It relies on photon as it's open-source backend server (provides elasticsearch for OSM), so you can either use a public instance or self-host. This allows you to have search functionality as powerful as Google Maps whilst being able to use solely open-source software instead.
- OsmAnd~ address finding is terrible, copy and pasting lat and long is inconvenient, any alternatives that also respect your privacy?

Happy Birthday OpenStreetMap
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.graphhopper.maps/
Unlike most OSM apps it requires an internet connection but has the advantage of an address search with auto complete and alternative routes.
Or use the website https://graphhopper.com/maps/ (disclaimer: I'm one of the founders of GraphHopper)
Both come with a custom model editor (gear button in the top left) where you can tweak the routing preferences to your liking like prefering more the official bike routes or more elevation avoidance or a slower speed etc.

Anything you wish there was an open source solution for?
https://graphhopper.com/maps/ is an amazing product that is open source, but it just does routing (with GPX download). I wish it had a little PostGIS data browser that I could write into via routes I draw on the map, or I upload (or import from other devices using something like GarminDB or similar). That, and adding arbitrary points, would be great. Just a simple, general-purpose map authoring tool. I just feel like I'm missing something, it seems like this would exist already.

A software that will plan the most efficient routes for visiting address from my work location
Graphhopper. It has an Android client that uses its web service. You can also try out the web app.

Asking for the obvious...
GraphHopper might be an option as well.

Select text field and minimize popup: is it possible?
Note that you can always submit a feature request here: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper-maps/issues

What routing tools/software do you like to plan tours?
I'm always on the lookout in this category. I prefer the KISS principle and avoid subscription bleeds. Recently found GraphHopper with a web interface and a Droid app.
- Maps.earth – free and open-source web maps

Is it possible to get turn by turn directions on a Linux laptop
There is even an experimental in-browser turn-by-turn navigation feature, which you can use with your local graphhopper service, but on a laptop you probably have no GPS and you have to use it from a phone (see the identical f-droid app for this purpose).
