Under the search box seems like a logical place, even if the Events section needs to be moved down. Would it be hard to have the search results come up then once a route is calculated have the results disappear and have the distance/directions shown there?
I think this link will work, it's an example of what I use gmaps routing for. Basically I've manually plotted out a cycle route (in this case for road tracing, so there's 3 roads which aren't on OSM) and it's given me a distance. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Casino+St&daddr=Caniaba+Rd+to:Bruxner+Hwy+to:Caniaba+Rd+to:Bruxner+Hwy+to:Gores+Rd+to:Naughtons+Gap+Rd+to:-28.808189,153.260593&hl=en&geocode=FdprSP4dPqAiCQ%3BFeUSSP4dU8UhCQ%3BFQhJR_4dgj4iCQ%3BFdTWR_4du3shCQ%3BFXZtR_4dVBUhCQ%3BFecpSP4d8_ogCQ%3BFcWFSP4dzDcgCQ%3B&mra=mi&mrcr=3&mrsp=7&sz=12&via=1,3,5&sll=-28.844974,153.189583&sspn=0.213215,0.307961&ie=UTF8&ll=-28.829035,153.223572&spn=0.213248,0.307961&z=12 Obviously there's a lot of work to make something that complex, so it's just an idea to aim for. Personally I don't care for routing information in any situation, only ever distance measurements so I know that it's possible to get home before sunset. No doubt that's a fairly narrow view which isn't shared with the bulk of the users who would just want directions. -Brent ----- Original Message ----- From: John Smith <delta_foxt...@yahoo.com> Date: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 11:21 am Subject: Re: [talk-au] Webpage layout To: talk-au@openstreetmap.org, b.schulz...@scu.edu.au > > --- On Mon, 10/8/09, b.schulz...@scu.edu.au > <b.schulz...@scu.edu.au> wrote: > > > Is it hard to calculate a route distance and display that? > > route distance is known, displaying it in a "nice" way is > another matter, are you or anyone else able to do a mock up > design on how you think this could be displayed? > > Also the routing directions could be shown also, but again it's > a layout issue. > > > >
