About GraphHopper
GraphHopper calculates routes on worldwide OpenStreetMap data. Ready-made profiles cover cars, bikes, walking, scooters, delivery trucks and cargo bikes, and you can define custom profiles for vehicle dimensions, access restrictions or road preferences. The hosted Directions API adds route optimization for deliveries and field service teams, with traffic adaptation.
The routing engine itself is published on GitHub for self-hosting, and the hosted API offers a free sign-up with paid plans as usage grows. The company is based in Munich.
