> in the response there’s a field called `metadata` which has the property `engine.build_date` , which is +/- a few days the date of the OSM dump.

@nils seems like this not true in every case or there went something wrong with the build on  
`2019-05-29T14:22:56Z`.

Here is an example request which is routing across the area mentioned in [Over a month to update map from OSM](https://ask.openrouteservice.org/t/over-a-month-to-update-map-from-osm/499)

[https://api.openrouteservice.org/v2/directions/driving-car?api\_key=[enter-key-here]&amp;start=16.334095,%2039.316022&amp;end=16.342463,%2039.305961](https://api.openrouteservice.org/v2/directions/driving-car?api_key=%5Benter-key-here%5D&amp;start=16.334095,%2039.316022&amp;end=16.342463,%2039.305961)

The response gives:

The change was made on 2019-04-02:

> **[Changeset: 68798941 | OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/68798941#map=18/39.31393/16.33842)**
>
> OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.

But the route is calculated like this:

Was the profile built on 2019-05-29 not using an up-to-date OSM dump?

For comparison the calculated route with GH from [openstreetmap.org](http://openstreetmap.org):

> **[OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_car&amp%3Broute=39.31606%2C16.33417%3B39.30706%2C16.34248#map=16/39.3119/16.3383&amp;layers=N)**
