Abstract. Obtaining the routing distance between two addresses should not be a hassle
with current technology. Unfortunately, this is more complicated than it first
seems. Recently, several commands have been implemented for this purpose
(traveltime, traveltime3, mqtime, osrmtime), but
most of them became obsolete only a few months after their introduction or
appear complicated to use. In this article, we introduce the
community-contributed command georoute, which retrieves travel distance
and travel time between two points defined either by their addresses or by
their geographical coordinates. Compared with other existing commands, it is
simple to use, efficient in terms of computational speed, and versatile
regarding the information that can be provided as input.
