Download and apply a new OpenStreetMap region map
Update ORS config (ors-config.yml) and service specifications to reference the new region
Validate map presence in stage and adjust resource provisioning for different map sizes
Return map region changes and trigger downstream router steps to update graphs and services

Quick Start

Download and apply a new map region to update the routing configuration

FAQPage Schema

How do I switch OpenStreetMap regions for routing in Snowflake?▼

To switch OpenStreetMap regions for routing in Snowflake, download a new map from sources like Geofabrik or BBBike, apply it to the customize-main router, and update the ORS configuration files to reference the new region.

What does updating the OpenStreetMap region in OpenRouteService require?▼

Updating the OpenStreetMap region requires downloading the new map, validating its presence in stage, editing oss-build-routing-solution-in-snowflake project files, and adjusting resource provisioning to handle different map sizes.

Can I use Geofabrik maps to configure ORS service specifications for testing?▼

Yes, you can use Geofabrik maps to configure ORS service specifications for testing, demos, or production workloads by downloading the regional map and applying the necessary configuration changes to ors-config.yml.

Why does changing map regions require adjusting resource provisioning?▼

Changing map regions requires adjusting resource provisioning because different OpenStreetMap map sizes demand varying compute resources to build routing graphs and update the OpenRouteService instances successfully.

How do I update ors-config.yml to reference a new OpenStreetMap map?▼

You update ors-config.yml by applying configuration changes that point the OpenRouteService to the newly downloaded OpenStreetMap region, which then triggers downstream router steps to update graphs and services.
