Still, most likely passing 50+ waypoints in the URI might cause other issues

I can't speak for the most recent version, but I regularly pass 200+ waypoints to a fork of OSRM 4.9 and it works fine. If you were to use the Node/Python bindings and hence avoid any webserver limitations you should be ok.

Awesome, thanks!

What roads? It has nothing to do with roads - it's purely a map of contiguous democrat counties. Besides, that's moving the goalpast from "its not political" to "well yeah it is political but its ok". It's also a bad example precisely for the same reason you (presumably) think it's a good example people can relate to - everyone agrees we need roads. Furthermore, clearly some things are too political to bring up in so…

> it's purely a map of contiguous democrat counties “Democratic counties”, right? I understand that it’s a common epithet used to deride an opposing party; but if one wishes to remain apolitical isn’t it better to apply the neutrality of using the party’s actual name and conventions of capitalization?
