Help and more info can be found in the docs. \ The Reporting Bugs document helps you file issues.

Maps

OpenStreetMap — display, routing, incomplete street-name search. \ Grosser Reiseplaner and compliant maps — full support. \ Garmin maps —display, routing, search is being worked on.

GPS Support

Current vehicle position from \ — a file or port. \ — gpsd (local or remote). \ — the location service of several mobile platforms. \ — a UDP server (friends tracking) (experimental).

Translation

The Hosted Weblate platform is used to manage translations, which runs Weblate.

Routing algorithm

Uses LPA* starting at the destination by assigning \ a value to each point directly connected to the destination point. \ It represents estimated time needed to reach the destination from that point. \ A Fibonacci-heap search for the point with the lowest value (to find \ a value then assigned to connected points either unevaluated or whose \ current value is greater than the new one) is repeated until the origin is found. \ Once reaching the origin, the lowest-value points are followed to the destination.

the (experimental) traffic module re-evaluates route-graph portions as segment costs change. \ It can process traffic reports and find a way around problems.
