thanks for taking the time to discuss the update and fix the audio

Great videos and a brilliant QGIS plugin! Travelling Salesman solution is so cool with OpenStreetMap data!

Hi Really exciting. Could there be PDF steps on the tutorials. Sorry for demanding too much Thanks

Hi Dr. Andrew Miles. I'm from Spain and I'm having a project for my End of Degree Project, so I wanted to ask you some doubts about QGIS. I'm interested in isochrones for ambulances so I need to know the next questions: 1. When are the isochrones calculated by ORS Tools, does it take into account road traffic? 2. Depending on the time you calculate the isochrones, will it give you a different result, or is it not in real time? Thank you so much in advance.

Hi Miguel, unfortunately the isochrones in ORS tools aren't based on realtime traffic data, I believe they are based on approximate average travel speeds for that road type, with some additional factors taken into account - see here for details github.com/GIScience/openrouteservice-docs/blob/master/README.md

Hi AMDGS, This is a great demo. Is there anywhere within this tool to be able to specify a maximum time ie. with the travelling salesman option, is there the option to cap the route at an 8 hour day? Thanks

Hi AMDGS, thank you so much for the helpful tutorial. Do we need to have our shapefiles in WGS84 projection for the plugin to work?

Hello I just want to ask why does the isochrones cover so much? Does it not consider traffic or the type of road?

Hi Dr. Andrew Miles. I also write you from Spain. In my case I'm a retired amateur. I made a polygon layer but when ORS runs with selected Python returns this message: AttributeError: 'QgsFeature' object has no attribute 'transform'. What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot

[@muhammadbilal6226]

I am facing similar issue Dr. Andrew. Any help in this regard would be appreciated ^-^ hope you are doing well

How do you deal if your crossing water bodies as like taking a ferry etc?

Hi, i have this error (sorry my english) TypeError: Object of type QVariant is not JSON serializable

[@chrisfox7]

When I hit 'Apply' after selecting my points, I get this error message at the top of the screen. Any ideas? Python error: An error has occurred while executing Python code: See message log (Python Error) for more details.

do you know how to process larger batches of data? I'm working with a few hundred urgent care sites per state and I keep getting an error of exceeding the query limit. I'm not sure how to get this to run. any ideas? thanks!

[@Konsul135]

You can look up the individual limits of the free Api here: openrouteservice.org/plans/ I suspect that you exceed those limits and get the error because of that.
