**APIs profiled:** 11

Valhalla is an open-source routing engine and library suite for OpenStreetMap data. It provides turn-by-turn navigation, isochrone computation, time-distance matrix analysis, map matching, elevation sampling, optimized routing (TSP), and graph expansion via a REST API. Valhalla supports multiple travel modes including auto, bicycle, pedestrian, transit, truck, motorcycle, and motor scooter. It uses a tiled hierarchical data structure for efficient offline routing and regional extracts, with dynamic costing via a plugin architecture.
