How to display the routing tool in OSM for J4?

Post by carin »

I set the the option Enable Routing to yes but no routing tool in the map window.

I cannot paste a screenshot since imgur.com does not work when you block all their malicious scripts.

Hi, imgur does not have any scripts, it only has the link to the image:

Routing - it depends on used OSM service, all parameters needs to be set. Mostly, for routing, you need API key for some specific service:

FYI Imgur runs 12 malicious scripts from dodgy sources on their site, for example adlightning.com, alexametrics.com, facebook.net, scorecardresearch.com, yieldlove.com and of course the most evil of them all - Google.

Since I cannot place a screenshot I describe what I mean. What I mean is the "from" "to" fields that you have on all the map providers. The standard OSM has it as well. Why do I need an API key to display those 2 fields? Thanks

Hi, it is not about displaying from and to form fields but about the feature - to display the route - such feature can be run only by some services.

Hi, in OSM, it is a part of the map, usually the selected service adds "route" icon, where users are able to click on this icon and set "from" to" there.

I mean these fields:

I cannot find any setting in Phoca Maps that would allow me to enable them.

Also, I would like to predifine the "to" field with my address. Thanks

Hi, the routing is produced be the selected service.

You can set it in Options based on the service data:
