Routing engine and Directions API on OpenStreetMap

About
Add powerful route planning and route optimization to your existing systems in minutes, not months. Save up to 30% on time and fuel costs, whether you’re coordinating last-mile deliveries across a city or dispatching a single driver. Our enterprise-grade platform optimizes routes for everyone from solo couriers to large field service teams, with road traffic adaptation and business-specific constraints, all through a simple API.
Go beyond basic car, bike, and walking routes. Choose from ready-to-use profiles for scooters, delivery trucks, cargo bikes, and more to get precise routes immediately. Can’t find the perfect fit? Create your own custom routing profile to match your exact requirements, whether it’s unique vehicle dimensions, access restrictions, or specific road preferences.
We offer fair, effort-based pricing that scales with your needs. Our use of a scalable architecture and resource-efficient routing software helps us keep costs low and pass the savings on to you.
Use the GraphHopper Directions API for any use case (including commercial usage, vehicle tracking and navigation applications) on any map you like.
