Well I was experimenting with with GDirections and it basically
matched one of the bus routes. I haven't looked at enough to put in
predetermind routes as yet. As well as buses, we are looking at
calculating cycling routes which would require the same use of
'pedestrianised roads' (it is legal for them to ride bikes on). What I
wanted to avoid was sending cyclists on trips round one way systems
when they could cut through the town.
Apoligies for my ignorance as I've only been looking at this today -
what should I be using to plot predetermined routes?
Thanks for your help.
