We wanted to take some time to explain exactly how map matching works, and how we use it. This will be the first in a series of three blog posts on how Mapzen validates, fine tunes, and deploys our map-matching services to meet the needs of our users.

We're excited to release Mapzen Map Matching, the latest addition to the Mapzen Mobility services. Our Map Matching service takes in a trajectory of latitude/longitude coordinates and returns back a route line that is snapped to the OpenStreetMap road network and enriched with attributes, like speed limits and freeway exit signs.

Timed-distance matrix, Isochrone, Optimized route and Elevation services are coming to Mapzen Flex.

OSMLR provides a stable linear-referencing system atop the ever-changing network of roadways in OpenStreetMap. We're now releasing a preview build of OSMLR segment tiles for the entire planet.

Mapzen has been participating in a collaborative effort to help improve transit data practices, with the aim of bringing greater consistency and quality to GTFS open data.

We’re excited to introduce Mapzen Flex, with simple, transparent pricing
