alt Hacker NewsCan you please consider expanding it to include Seattle? Or better yet Puget Sound area? 1m DTM elevation data is available here. We have many amazing bike trails, but also plenty of hills that must be avoided.

We’d like too! It’s an open source project that was never designed to scale beyond one regions (bay area, puget sound, NYC, etc…) our hope has always been been that folks in different regions would spin up their own copy. By keeping it regional the data and hardware requirements for running it are minimal. That said, we are working on a new routing engine that we hope can scale to support continent wide routing. Then we can manage running it for many metro’s. If you’re interested in self hosting for Seattle we are happy to help get it set up.
In the meantime, you can check out maps.earth, which has bike+transit directions for the puget sound area (also sfbay, los angeles, portland)
...though the elevation model I'm currently using is courser (~30m, from Mapzen skadi). This is a good reminder to fix that where available!
Hit me up if you want to use the iOS beta which has some nice transit features (already available on the web).
Check out Modemix (modemix.io)
It's available in Seattle
