A major new feature in Atlas is the
creation of
GraphHopper graphs.
Besides opening a ready graph folder to use in routing...
Now you can also select an OSM file (.osm or .pbf or compressed), e.g. from
Geofabrik, to build a graph from it.
In that case you need to choose also a target empty folder, where the graph build process will take place.
The graph building could take some time and is memory intensive.
You should probably run the Atlas jar by allocating some memory, via the known Java command line options (i.e. -Xmx).
After the build, the graph is loaded automatically in Atlas.
You can also copy it to Android and use it with
Cruiser.
The default graph build options are (car, bike, foot) with contraction hierarchies off.
There is a
graph.properties file included to be able to change them easily.
If
graph.properties is missing then the default settings are used.
