<h4>How it Works</h4>
<p>Technically speaking, the plugin is a bridge to web service <a href="https://www.drivebestway.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">www.drivebestway.com</a>, which uses <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">OSM</a> data for routing.</p>
<p>Unlike other similar plugins, Google Maps is not used here. The routing is performed with open source routers, such as <a href="http://project-osrm.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">OSRM</a> and <a href="https://www.graphhopper.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Graphhopper</a>.</p>
<p>See a <a href="https://www.drivebestway.com/credits" rel="nofollow ugc">full list of credits</a>.</p>
<h3>Documentation</h3>
<p>The plugin is developed on the basis of HTML-widget, which options are documented on the <a href="https://www.drivebestway.com/widget/v1/doc" rel="nofollow ugc">developers’ site</a>.</p>
