I need to do routing for a vehicle. A map with detailed turn-by-turn driving directions should be generated. For example, it should be like car race game in which the map with vehicle tracking is provided and driving instructions are shown by arrow keys. Is it possible with QGIS?

EDIT:

QGIS gps tracking plugin is useful to track vehicle. Please, can anyone clearly explain how I can provide driving direction to the driver (for example: turn left, turn right for given start point and end point).

  • I'm not sure that there is any plugin readily available now that can do this. Are you willing to do some programming?

You can also use this http://project-osrm.org/. Their api return json with turn by turn instructions in the format

["instruction","streetname",length,position,time,"length","earth_direction",azimuth]

Example: ["Turn left","High Street",200,4,10,"200m","NE",22.5]
