Some comments on the new and old ORS layout

[kasolo]

Hello and thanks a lot for this great service.
I am an openstreetmap contributor and use your routing service for various purposes.
I have some comments on the new ORS layout:

• the “topography” scheme is great. Is it possible to include that in the classical layout?

• There should be numbered labels on the waypoints, as in the classical layout. It is otherwise very cumbersome to assign or connect the map waypoints to the table.

• It is convenient to have this “direct routing” option in the table. However, direct routing will lead to a mess-up in the elevation profile. I assume that you have already noticed this because it is very obvious. I can send a screenshot to explain further, if required.

Keep up the good work and best wishes from Heidelberg

Hi @kasolo,

It is not planned to include any new features in the classic client, see:

New map client released

Dear ors users, our new responsive map client is finally released on maps.openrouteservice.org! Featuring a remodeled interface and support for mobile devices and small screens. We are happy about any feedback in form of issues in the corresponding github repo The previous client has permanently moved to classic-maps.openrouteservice.org and will not get any more feature updates. Links to the previous client will be automatically redirected to the classic maps app (depending on the presence…

I guess with topography scheme you mean the base map?
If you want, you can implement it and open a pull request to the classic client, i can then review it.

Regarding the other 2 issues, please check open issues in the repository:

Issues · GIScience/ors-map-client

1. is already there
2. Is originating in the ors backend wrong `extra_info` when using `skip_segments` · Issue #636 · GIScience/openrouteservice · GitHub
   there is a work around in the classic client “fixing” that problem, but not in the new client.
   But you can write a comment in the backend issue if you second that issue.

Best regards

Hello, and thanks for the feedback. Please see attached, old vs. new. I do not see the number labels in or near the route markers and could not find a way to turn that feature on.
Best wishes
Christian!
