<li>Routing from an arbitrary point to your tourist site (recreation center, camping, hotel) with a simple web form.</li>
</ol>
<p>Other use cases are also possible. The plugin has many settings and can be adapted to other scenarios.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>shortcodes</li>
<li>customizable design</li>

<li>price calculation by your own formula</li>
<li>async load via HTTPS, HTTP/2 support</li>
<li>safe degradation if the routing server is not available</li>

</ul>
<h4>Modes</h4>
<p>The plugin has two modes. These modes are switched on the plugin settings page.</p>
<p>By default, the plugin works in minimal mode:</p>
<ul>
<li>the results of route calculation are displayed on the plugin developers website.</li>
<li>there are no additional settings.</li>
</ul>
<p>Advanced mode:</p>
<ul>

<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>
