## What it is
A Leaflet plugin that adds turn-by-turn routing controls to interactive maps, supporting multiple routing backends like OSRM and Mapbox Directions API. It provides waypoint editing, itinerary display, and customizable UI with Leaflet's look and feel.

## Use cases
- add driving directions to a Leaflet map
- let users drag waypoints to plan a route
- show turn-by-turn itineraries on a web map
- integrate OSRM routing into a web application
- build a trip planner with start and destination inputs
- display route lines between multiple stops on a map

## When to choose
- you are already using Leaflet and need routing UI
- you want a quick, few-lines-of-code routing control
- you need support for multiple routing engines via plugins
- you want customizable waypoint editing and theming

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with timely bug fixes
- you want a routing solution with a working default backend out of the box
- you are not using Leaflet for your maps
- you need routing in a mobile native app rather than a web map
