Well, this is helpful, unhelpful and then helpfully unhelpful. Helpful: Those are indeed some good terms to use to find other people who want the same thing. Unhelpful: But the proposed solutions are still planning routes by constraining vertices, not edges. Helpfully unhelpful: But maybe what this proves is that no GPS has ever heard "it's the journey, not the destination". _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
