ORS now responds in gpx!

Probably all of you have had the requirement of transforming formats into other formats. There are many ways to do so but every time it’s one more step of work. And honestly, this can become quite annoying. To this end, we have decided to extend the API’s capabilities. Our first feature in this direction is enabling the response format to be in GPX. This suggestion came from one of our many users who wanted to save the APIs route response directly to a TomTom navigation device. Quite handy! To give you an example, try this URL with your api_key:

https://api.openrouteservice.org/directions?api_key=xy&coordinates=10.80874,50.74994|10.890477,50.720223&profile=foot-walking&preference=fastest&format=gpx

Happy routing!
