OpenRouteService route planner - directions, isochrones and places

Openrouteservice is a open source route planner with plenty of features for car, heavy vehicles, hiking, cycling and wheelchair

@fitheach Hmm. Whenever I use OSM-based services, finding places gets harder immediately, even with very simple queries (see attached examples). Looking for a train station in Berlin, ORS either sends me in the US or literally somewhere in the district. Google on the other hand ... instantly gets me.

I'm not sure if I can contribute to the search results, but normal users will pretty much always fall back to the solutions that work instantly. :-/

@esureL
It is true (most) users will try a service and if they don't get immediate satisfaction will move off elsewhere. Human nature, I'm afraid.

OSM are always looking for people to help improve the data:
