Router4j: A Free Alternative to Google Maps for Route and Distance Calculation
SMRTR summary
Router4j is a new open-source library providing an alternative to Google Maps for routing and distance calculations. It offers integration with two free APIs: Geospatial API and Open Route Service. The library allows developers to look up geographic coordinates and calculate distances between points without incurring the costs associated with Google Maps. While still in early stages, Router4j could be a good option for projects with budget constraints that can work within the free usage limits of the underlying APIs.
