API Reference

Coord

Geographic coordinate with latitude and longitude. Validates input on construction.

use solverforge_maps::{Coord, CoordError};

// Panics on invalid input (NaN, infinite, out of range)
let coord = Coord::new(39.95, -75.16);

// Fallible construction
let coord: Result<Coord, CoordError> = Coord::try_new(91.0, -75.16);
assert!(matches!(coord, Err(CoordError::LatOutOfRange { .. })));

// Valid ranges: lat [-90, 90], lng [-180, 180]
let coord = Coord::try_new(39.95, -75.16).unwrap();

// Distance calculation
let other = Coord::new(39.96, -75.17);
let distance_meters = coord.distance_to(other);

// Tuple conversion
let from_tuple: Result<Coord, CoordError> = (39.95, -75.16).try_into();
let to_tuple: (f64, f64) = coord.into();

CoordError

pub enum CoordError {
    LatOutOfRange { value: f64 },   // lat < -90 or > 90
    LngOutOfRange { value: f64 },   // lng < -180 or > 180
    LatNaN,
    LngNaN,
    LatInfinite { value: f64 },
    LngInfinite { value: f64 },
}

---

BoundingBox

Rectangular geographic region. Validates that min < max on construction.

use solverforge_maps::{BoundingBox, BBoxError, Coord};

// Panics if min > max
let bbox = BoundingBox::new(39.9, -75.2, 40.0, -75.1);

// Fallible construction
let bbox: Result<BoundingBox, BBoxError> = BoundingBox::try_new(40.0, -75.2, 39.9, -75.1);
assert!(matches!(bbox, Err(BBoxError::MinLatGreaterThanMax { .. })));

// From coordinates
let locations = vec![
    Coord::new(39.95, -75.16),
    Coord::new(39.96, -75.17),
];
let bbox = BoundingBox::from_coords(&locations);

// Expansion methods
let expanded = bbox.expand(0.1);                      // Expand by ratio
let expanded = bbox.expand_meters(1000.0);            // Expand by meters
let expanded = bbox.expand_for_routing(&locations);   // Smart expansion (1.4x detour factor)

// Queries
let center: Coord = bbox.center();
let contains: bool = bbox.contains(Coord::new(39.95, -75.15));

BBoxError

pub enum BBoxError {
    MinLatGreaterThanMax { min: f64, max: f64 },
    MinLngGreaterThanMax { min: f64, max: f64 },
    LatOutOfRange { value: f64 },
    LngOutOfRange { value: f64 },
    NaN { field: &'static str },
    Infinite { field: &'static str, value: f64 },
}

---

NetworkConfig

Configuration for network loading and routing.

use solverforge_maps::{NetworkConfig, SpeedProfile};
use std::time::Duration;

// Defaults
let config = NetworkConfig::default();

// Builder pattern
let config = NetworkConfig::new()
    .overpass_url("https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter")
    .cache_dir("/tmp/osm_cache")
    .connect_timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))
    .read_timeout(Duration::from_secs(120))
    .speed_profile(SpeedProfile::default());

---

SpeedProfile

Speed profiles for different road types.

use solverforge_maps::SpeedProfile;

let profile = SpeedProfile::default();

// Get speed in meters per second (maxspeed tag, highway type)
let speed_mps = profile.speed_mps(None, "motorway");       // ~27.78 m/s (100 km/h default)
let speed_mps = profile.speed_mps(Some("50"), "motorway"); // ~13.89 m/s (50 km/h from tag)

Highway Type	Default Speed
motorway	100 km/h
trunk	80 km/h
primary	60 km/h
secondary	50 km/h
tertiary	40 km/h
residential	30 km/h
unclassified	30 km/h
service	20 km/h
living_street	10 km/h

---

RoadNetwork

Core routing engine built from OSM data.

Loading a Network

use solverforge_maps::{BoundingBox, NetworkConfig, RoadNetwork, NetworkRef};

let bbox = BoundingBox::new(39.9, -75.2, 40.0, -75.1);
let config = NetworkConfig::default();

// Load from cache or fetch from API (returns cached reference)
let network: NetworkRef = RoadNetwork::load_or_fetch(&bbox, &config, None).await?;

// Always fetch fresh (bypasses cache)
let network: RoadNetwork = RoadNetwork::fetch(&bbox, &config, None).await?;

NetworkRef is a zero-cost guard that provides access to the cached RoadNetwork. It implements Deref<Target = RoadNetwork> so all methods are available directly.

Routing

use solverforge_maps::{Coord, RouteResult, RoutingError, Objective};

let from = Coord::new(39.95, -75.16);
let to = Coord::new(39.96, -75.17);

// Route by minimum travel time (default)
let route: Result<RouteResult, RoutingError> = network.route(from, to);

// Route with specific objective
let route = network.route_with(from, to, Objective::Time)?;     // Minimize time
let route = network.route_with(from, to, Objective::Distance)?; // Minimize distance

// Access route data
println!("Duration: {} seconds", route.duration_seconds);
println!("Distance: {:.0} meters", route.distance_meters);
println!("Geometry: {} points", route.geometry.len());

// Simplify geometry for transmission (Douglas-Peucker algorithm)
let simplified = route.simplify(10.0);  // tolerance in meters

Coordinate Snapping

use solverforge_maps::{Coord, SnappedCoord, RoutingError};

let coord = Coord::new(39.95, -75.16);

// Simple snap (returns None if network is empty)
let node = network.snap_to_road(coord);

// Detailed snap with distance information
let snapped: Result<SnappedCoord, RoutingError> = network.snap_to_road_detailed(coord);

if let Ok(snap) = snapped {
    println!("Original: {:?}", snap.original);
    println!("Snapped: {:?}", snap.snapped);
    println!("Snap distance: {:.1} meters", snap.snap_distance_m);
}

// Route between pre-snapped coordinates (more efficient for repeated routing)
let from_snap = network.snap_to_road_detailed(from)?;
let to_snap = network.snap_to_road_detailed(to)?;
let route = network.route_snapped(&from_snap, &to_snap)?;

Network Statistics

let nodes: usize = network.node_count();
let edges: usize = network.edge_count();

// Connectivity analysis (useful for debugging routing failures)
let components: usize = network.strongly_connected_components();
let largest_fraction: f64 = network.largest_component_fraction();
let is_connected: bool = network.is_strongly_connected();

println!("Network has {} SCCs", components);
println!("Largest component contains {:.1}% of nodes", largest_fraction * 100.0);

---

TravelTimeMatrix

Travel time matrix with metadata and analysis methods.

use solverforge_maps::{Coord, TravelTimeMatrix, UNREACHABLE};

let locations = vec![
    Coord::new(39.95, -75.16),
    Coord::new(39.96, -75.17),
    Coord::new(39.94, -75.15),
];

// Compute matrix (async, parallel via rayon internally)
let matrix: TravelTimeMatrix = network.compute_matrix(&locations, None).await;

// Access travel times
let time: Option<i64> = matrix.get(0, 1);           // From location 0 to 1
let row: Option<&[i64]> = matrix.row(0);            // All times from location 0
let reachable: bool = matrix.is_reachable(0, 1);    // Check if pair is reachable

// Matrix metadata
let size: usize = matrix.size();                     // Number of locations
let locations: &[SnappedCoord] = matrix.locations(); // Snapped coordinates

// Statistics (excluding diagonal and unreachable pairs)
let min: Option<i64> = matrix.min();
let max: Option<i64> = matrix.max();
let mean: Option<f64> = matrix.mean();

// Reachability analysis
let ratio: f64 = matrix.reachability_ratio();                 // Fraction reachable
let unreachable: Vec<(usize, usize)> = matrix.unreachable_pairs();

// Raw data access
let data: &[i64] = matrix.as_slice();  // Row-major flat array

The constant UNREACHABLE (i64::MAX) indicates pairs with no path.

Route Geometries

Compute geometries for all location pairs.

use solverforge_maps::Coord;
use std::collections::HashMap;

let locations = vec![
    Coord::new(39.95, -75.16),
    Coord::new(39.96, -75.17),
];

// Async computation
let geometries: HashMap<(usize, usize), Vec<Coord>> =
    network.compute_geometries(&locations, None).await;

// Access specific route geometry
if let Some(route_geom) = geometries.get(&(0, 1)) {
    println!("Route 0->1 has {} points", route_geom.len());
}

---

Cache Management

Inspect and manage the network cache.

use solverforge_maps::{RoadNetwork, CacheStats, BoundingBox};

// Get cache statistics
let stats: CacheStats = RoadNetwork::cache_stats().await;
println!("Cached networks: {}", stats.networks_cached);
println!("Total nodes: {}", stats.total_nodes);
println!("Total edges: {}", stats.total_edges);
println!("Memory: {} bytes", stats.memory_bytes);
println!("Hits: {}, Misses: {}", stats.hits, stats.misses);

// List cached regions
let regions: Vec<BoundingBox> = RoadNetwork::cached_regions().await;

// Evict specific region
let bbox = BoundingBox::new(39.9, -75.2, 40.0, -75.1);
let evicted: bool = RoadNetwork::evict(&bbox).await;

// Clear entire cache
RoadNetwork::clear_cache().await;

---

use tokio::sync::mpsc;

let (tx, mut rx) = mpsc::channel::<RoutingProgress>(100);

    while let Some(progress) = rx.recv().await {
        match progress {
            RoutingProgress::CheckingCache { percent } => {
                println!("[{:3}%] Checking cache...", percent);
            }
            RoutingProgress::DownloadingNetwork { percent, bytes } => {

            }
            RoutingProgress::ComputingMatrix { percent, row, total } => {
                println!("[{:3}%] Computing matrix row {}/{}", percent, row, total);
            }
            _ => {}

rm -rf .osm_cache/

// Or programmatically
RoadNetwork::clear_cache().await;
