bad request

[mshelman]

For certain requests, I am getting '400 Bad Request' using the sample code. For example: http://router.project-osrm.org/viaroute?instructions=true&loc=-122.4,37.78&loc=-122.32,37.93&jsonp=_l_routing_machine_0. Any ideas? The latlngs in the samples display the routes correctly. Thanks

Hm, interesting. I'll check that out, but it sounds like a problem in OSRM.

Thanks you for your quick response. Soon after posting, I realized my
mistake: I had switched the lat and lng. Stupid mistake.

But now that it is working I find that the directions are not very helpful.
I am in California and the two points are a large store in Berkeley
(Target) and the Moscone convention center in San Francisco. these are the
directions shown in the control:

I 80, I 80;I 58025 km, 28 minHead southwest250 mContinue southwest on I 80350
mContinue southwest400 mContinue southeast on 8th Street100 mLeft onto

Continue northeast on I 8010 kmContinue north900 mContinue north on I 880100
mContinue north on I 80;I 5805 kmContinue north on I 804 kmContinue north450

Street10 mLeft
onto CA 123200 mContinue northwest on San Pablo Avenue100 mRight onto Knott
Avenue150 mLeft onto Key Boulevard350 mDestination reached0 m

This is confusing and not very specific. it seems to be describing a round
trip. don't know if i am doing something wrong or it is just the
limitations of the library.

anyway, thanks for your help

The directions can hopefully be improved. There's of course some limits from what you can do with the data returned by OSRM, but I'm pretty certain that it can be turned into something more readable than today.

Thanks for the reply, Per. Yes, it seems the data must be there but it must
be a huge job to pull it out. Good luck

I'm closing this issue since the original problem has been resolved, I opened #9 regarding your comments about improving the directions.
