  • Routing API: Documentation of the Web API to communicate with any GraphHopper server via http.
  • Deployment Guide: Details about deploying GraphHopper
  • There are official API clients in Java and JavaScript.

Configuration

You can configure several aspects either programmatically or just via a configuration. The configuration of routing profiles is documented here. The elevation configuration is separately documented here.

Installation For Developers

The quickstart is an introduction for developers. Explains git checkout, IDE setup and commands for setting up a GraphHopper server.

Find all changes in previous and current versions in the changelogs.

Android & iOS

The Android demo, that shows how to use GraphHopper for offline routing on Android, was available until GraphHopper 1.0.

There is a GraphHopper fork for iOS that allows to do offline routing on iOS. See the Instructions on how to setup this here including a sample application. See the necessary changes for modern iOS and GraphHopper 1.0 in this pull request.

Windows

Documentation about how to get an GraphHopper instance running on windows via cygwin is available here.

Eclipse

Setup in IntelliJ and NetBeans is just via open project. See this document to set up GraphHopper in Eclipse with maven.
