Monav is a desktop / mobile application that offers state-of-the-art fast and exact routing with openstreetmap data.

in contrast to most commercial and open-source routing applications, monav offers exact routing without heuristic assumptions and with very little computational work. its routing core is based on contraction hierarchies.

the application is divided into two parts: the monav preprocessor transforms the raw openstreetmap data into file formats usable by the monav client application. the preprocessing is often time consuming and requires larger amounts of memory. the client application on the other hand has very few requirements and can even run on mobile devices.

this is a metapackage installing both the client and the preprocessing applications.
