Here's another routeplanner that calculates walking, cycling, car and public
transport routes.

Don't worry if you don't know any Brighton adresses, you can point and click
destinations on
a map. I don't know what the routing engine is, but I will find out...

Jessica,

You might also want to check this web service for the UK:
http://www.cyclemaps.net/index.html

Where they have to route planning modes: using cycle routes or the most
direct route (least turns and distance)

You might also want to check this paper:

Subject: [Geowanking] routing for bicycles

Hey, I'm a GIS noob, but I was recently overcome with a desire to see a
bicycle directions button on the Google Maps page, so I started to poke
around to see what has been done in terms of bicycling routing, and open
source routing in general.

I found BBBike, http://bbbike.sourceforge.net/, which would be a great place
to start if I spoke German.

I noticed that bicycling.511.org in the SF Bay Area currently just supplies
navigable bike maps, and has a note that they might supply turn-by-turn
directions in the future.

I discovered Tiger, and came to the same conclusion as had been discussed a
few months ago on this list, that it wasn't really a working solution for
open source routing.

The PGDijkstra routing engine mentioned is interesting. And the pgRouting
that is based on it. I haven't looked at those closely, but I just thought
I'd see if anyone here knew of a good place to start, given my goal is open
source routing for bicycles.

thanks,
jessica forbess
