Directions: Search automatically if pin or transportation type change

[jvaclavik]

It shouldn't be necessary to click on "search" when I change from "car" to "cycling" etc. Also when I change place it should also automatically trigger search.
Also we should search automatically when user fills second point without waiting for button click.

These interactions should trigger search:

also state on the image shouldnt happen (it shows old route)

This would be possible only with different API provider. Graphopper lets us use 500 requests per day, and yesterday we already got 140 🙈

I think there was some other provider mentioned in some issue.

Can we maybe self host graphhopper?

@Dlurak - i prefer to focus on frontend which we do well i believe, and leave server maintanenace to other dedicated teams. Hosting a world-scale OSM server has its challenges - reliability, data freshness, cost etc. .. But if you want to explore the topic, go for it and share your results! 👍

I found in issue #31 that member co-founder of GraphHopper offered us a bigger free tier - I asked him here. Lets see how this develops :)

That was quick, Peter from GraphHopper granted us 2500 requests/day, that should be enough for some time! 👍 🙂

And i accidentaly found the other provider I mentioned above - it is https://openrouteservice.org/plans/ which offers 10k requests per day for non-profit. If we reach the limit in Graphhopper, this would be an option.
