I am using Openrouteservice Maps to import a route from a kml file and obtain its time duration. However, the application transforms de kml file to a number of specific points (10 points or less generally). I would like to know if there is a chance to transform it to a higher number of points in an automatic way. At the moment, I am using the toggle option when you import a kml and then manually adapt the route to its real shape. It is a valid solution, but very slow. I am asking if there is any option to change the default specifications and adapt the original route to higher number of points.
I attach a screenshot reproducing the toggle function (in light blue) and the route adaption (in red) with 4 adjusted points. I would like to know if there’s a faster way to match the blue and red routes.
this one is a bit tricky. The number of waypoints is generated by simplifying the underlying geometry with a specific tolerance factor.
For longer routes more points will be generated and our api only supports up to a maximum of 50 points.
If you have an api_key you can set up the maps client yourself and adjust the tolerance. It is set in the file ors-import-route.js in line 121-123
Sorry i didn’t have the time to release this yet.
The implementation is already in the development branch of https://github.com/GIScience/openrouteservice-app.
If you urgently need it you can try to set up the client locally. Instructions are provided in the repository.
