Is there a way to capture missing road/dotted lines in VROOM?

[TusharB31]

We are using OSM with VROOM. But OSM has missing road network where it shows dotted line. Is there a way to capture such dotted lines in VROOM?

OSM has missing road network where it shows dotted line

Can you be a bit more specific: what is your workflow and in which context do you actually see "dotted lines"?

[TusharB31]

My current workflow is as follow:

1. we are using VROOM with OSRM and OSM.
2. We have developed our custom program on top of it.
3. Getting the distance Matrix using OSM.

We are using OSRM "https://map.project-osrm.org/" for plotting locations dynamically in GIS view. But, it shows dotted lines wherever the road between two locations is missing or if there is partial road available then it creates dotted line till location from the road not available.

This has nothing to do with VROOM. What happens is that OSRM, or any other routing engine, will snap your input location to the nearest relevant road segment (see OSRM nearest endpoint). The frontend just shows a straight dotted line between your input location and the matching road segment. It's not a "missing road", just a sign that your locations are a bit away from the network.

Yes, It just shows the dotted sign. But is it possible to capture such locations in the Vroom code?

Not sure what you mean exactly.

The snapping happens at the routing level, so totally outside of VROOM. If you have a lot of distance between your locations and the road network, you may want to improve your geocoding or find a better snapping mechanism in the first place.
