Interesting, I assume you are both aware of: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access-Restrictions which covers just part of the problem space. For example to do it properly you need to normalize vehicle types, add rules for standing/parked vehicles and so on. Simon Am

IMHO mobile devs tend to substantially exaggerate the screen real estate scarcity. Two to three sources as text lines is clearly doable, and you don't really need to have separate links on the main screen itself, just show a common attribution screen. And: -you- control how much you want to show
