We have the structured data, but we have no way to distribute this data through OSM, it seems, because there is no real time traffic layer
As previously mentioned, you'll need to distribute it yourself (perhaps after combining with OSM data)
and because I can't find a navigation client that works directly with OSM.
Garmin devices do (via mkgmap); and there's software for mobile phones too.
I've looked at openrouteservice.org which actually directly uses OSM, which seems like the only one, but this is a web service. We need a real time traffic layer for OSM, community controlled, where the community can report such things as closed roads, car crashes, traffic jams and mobile police check points. That way, clients that uses static maps can have real time event information based on the route they are taking. I'm really amazed we don't already have something like this.
I think that you've just volunteered yourself to create exactly that :-) Cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
