The question is, can you run your own tile server for less money than the Google's payment model. If you can, OSM is for you. If you can't, google maps is still ok. Janko 2011/10/31 Matthias Meißer dig...@arcor.de Yes I guess this trend will come and I realy want to slow down your action

Lets get back on track again, ID as default. If we stop nitpicking, I think ID has pretty much all that Potlatch has. In addition to that, it doesn't use non-free software, and is really much easier for beginners to use. For me personaly, it's much more streamlined and faster to use. Try drawing a

Well, the A46 and A44 are trunk roads, and the Hinton road is an unclassified road. Of course the router is going to think it's much faster to go by trunk road. If you want to fix that, you'll have to put in the maxspeed tags. Then the router will have enough information to choose the better path.
