Response
{"error":{"code":2010,"message":"Could not find routable point within a radius of 350.0 meters of specified coordinate 0: 9.3030360 46.1973620."},"info":{"engine":{"build_date":"2025-10-31T12:33:09Z","graph_version":"3","graph_date":"2026-01-19T13:43:17Z","osm_date":"2026-01-12T00:59:56Z","version":"9.5.0"},"timestamp":1769762378543}}
Current behavior
Using the foot-hiking-profile, the request works fine. Using foot-walking, as given, it yields could not find routable point.
Expected behavior
The error message could make clearer what the reason for not finding a routable point is.
I would not expect this to get fixed soon, however…
