title: How to plot a JSON file generated by osrm for route optimization into an OSM map
body: <p>I am a complete newbie to computation of gps, gis and all these geoinformatical stuff. First I describe my lessons learned to arrive at gps data. <strong>You can skip this and go to the last two paragraphs where I explain my problem with osrm and how to map a route onto an OSM map via qgis or similar tools.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I tried to do some route optimization for a bunch of addresses to support my son's paper deliverer job. I was able to generate a list of gps data by using the Nomatim engine that is available via geopy.geocoders. It's kind of a Travelling Salesman problem (TSP).</p>
  
  <p>By using geopy's distance calculator and the or-tools from Google to Generate a shortest list recommendation. That worked well but it was only a TSP solution for air line :-(.</p>
  
  <p>Then I was looking for route optimization toolkits but i struggled to get one for free. I thought osrm could be the right tool. I followed the descriptions given at Github, see <a href="https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/wiki/Running-OSRM" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. I was able to generate a JSON file - at least I supposed that it's kind of a JSON file. But I was unable to project this back onto a map in QGis or any online tool from OSM. Can anyone help me?</p>
  
  <p>The file with such JSON-like formatting:
  {"code":"Ok","waypoints":[{"hint":"Jh4BgEUzI4BhAAAACwAAAKIAAABZAAAAkLAjQgpyikBay4dCWsuHQmEAAAALAAAAogAAAFkAAAArAAAAxwB4AARI3AI3AXgAWEbcAgIADwXVhXd1","location":...
  Due to privacy issues I cannot post it here with any locations. Sorry for this. But does anyone have kind of a recipe / step-by-step guide what I need to do to plot it? I even have no idea how to "open" a map within qgis. You need to do this as kind of a database but this is totally new for me. I would prefer to work with an easier method to plot it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any help.</p>
