Yeah - I'll second that. I see the map display is working now, so obviously the missing tags are fixed. Useful effects of this router are being able to spot broken connectivity - especially in things I've not spotted using mkgmap to create Garmin routable maps for my in-car GPS unit. For instance: things wrong with the cycleways. As soon as the OSM -> 0.6 API kerfuffle is over, I've got a few cycleway edits for Swansea! May I offer a couple of comments please: 1) The positioning of the 'start' and 'end' markers for the route are a bit over-critical. The slippy map provided doesn't let you zoom in enough to place them accurately enough. Either please add a further layer of zoom to the zoom-tool, or increase the tolerance for searching for a road near the 'start' or 'end' markers. 2) Would be nice to mark a road type as "avoid if possible". For instance, when finding a bicycle route you might like to mark primary roads in that way. I obtained a similar result by setting the speed limit for a primary as 5kph, then selecting "find fastest" but of course the estimated arrival time would be skewed by doing that. I'd might expect to do 20kph on a bike on a primary if I was on such a road, but would rather not be there in the first place. Sometimes, there's just no avoiding riding the bike on a primary - or even a trunk. Other than that - great work, neat GUI, interesting results. Keep it up, and thanks for what you've done so far.
