About Valhalla

Valhalla calculates routes from OpenStreetMap data. It focuses on multi-modal routing, isochrones showing how far you can travel in a given time, and dynamic costing, which lets requests adjust how different roads and paths are weighted.

It is a self-hosted server with Docker support in the repository, so it suits developers and organisations that want their own routing backend rather than a commercial directions API. The project is actively developed, with more than 14,000 commits.

Strengths

  • Multi-modal routing on OpenStreetMap data
  • Isochrone generation
  • Dynamic costing adjustable per request
