The OSRM debug tile view is getting more legible. Speed labels, directional arrows, segment weights — laid out so you can actually read them. Useful when you're chasing down a bad route. Coming in the next release.

Spotted in the Tesla Model Y owner's manual: OSRM credited right alongside OpenStreetMap.

We were pretty surprised when we first found this. The beer from Tesla never arrived, but the credit is right there in the manual.

Working on modernizing the OSRM frontend. We are switching to vector tiles using MapLibre GL JS and the OSMF tile infrastructure, moving toward a fully open stack. Still early, more previews soon. 😀 #OSRM #OpenStreetMap
