The OpenGIS Location Services (OpenLS) of OpenRouteService.org cover now all European states and some of the surrounding areas based on user-generated data of the free Wiki-world map OpenStreetMap.org.
This is true for all of the services of OpenRouteService, such as routing (pedestrian, bicycle, car), geocoder/reverse geocoder (OpenLS Utility Service), spatial POI-search (OpenLS Directory Service), Web Map Service (WMS) and further specialized services such as the accessibility analysis service (AAS).
OpenRouteService covers now a rectangle around the European states from Island to Portugal and to the east slightly beyond the boarders of Turkey which includes the western part of Russia up to Moscow and some smaller regions in Syria, Irak (Mosul) or Lebanon (Tripoli) - if there is some OpenStreetMap data available.
