Hi,

As a few of you might know I am developing an augmented reality hikers' app for 
Android. As part of this I would like to develop route finding (including AR 
signposts) facilities, using GraphHopper.


However I don't want users to have to download a huge OSM or GraphHopper file 
covering the whole of England and Wales: I would prefer users to download small 
tiles of OSM data (say 10km x 10km) of their local area, which could then be 
cached on their device. The conversion to GraphHopper format could be done on 
the device.


Overpass seems good for this: the usage policy suggests up to 10000 hits/day is 
acceptable. I can't see more than a small number of people using the app for 
now: furthermore I could route requests through a proxy on my own server which 
ensures that no more than 5000 (to be safe) requests to Overpass per day are 
made.


Does this sound an acceptable use of the Overpass API?


Thanks,

Nick
