Here's another routeplanner that calculates walking, cycling, car and public transport routes. http://www.journeyon.co.uk/ 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...

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 _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
