Setting curvature in v5

[kitcat]

Hi!

I recently switched to version 5 of GH. Before I worked with version 3.

Previously, in the custom model, I could adjust the curvature per request by calling motorcycle.curvature.

Can someone explain to me how I can adjust the curvature per request in version 5? Unfortunately I couldn’t find it in the documentation .

thanks in advance,
kitcat

I don’t know what you are referring to. In GH 3 I cannot find anything called motorcycle.curvature. What exactly are you trying to do?

[kitcat]

Hi, see /route-custom heading not working - #4 by karussell

as karussell pointed out this has now been changed to motorcycle$curvature, only I see minimal to no difference in my route when i use motorcycle$curvature.

Can you not paste some code / config or something? It is very hard to guess what you are trying to do. And yes in GH 5 the motorcycle curvature encoded value is called motorcycle$curvature

oh I’m sorry, you’re right. I’m still in the Monday mood .

As you can see the weight and the visited nodes change, but the distance and duration remain the same. Visually I hardly see anything change.

Do you have any idea what I’m doing wrong and how I can improve it?

[easbar]

This looks right. Maybe just try something like multiply_by: 0.01 or change the threshold for the curvature to make sure everything works as expected?
