Hi Folks,

I'm looking for an app that would let me map running/cycling routes using OSM data. I've looked at the OSM page on routing and found Cloumade's site (1) which is quite interesting and usable but has limited functionality IMO.

What I'd be interested in as a first step is the ability to add vertices in the route. Currently, all one can do is add points at the end of the route so the only way to "insert" a point within a route is to delete all points from the end of the route backwards. Also -- and this is where maybe the cycling map would be useful -- I would very much like to have an altitudinal cross section of a route, either at fixed distance intervals or at slope changes (lows and highs) or both. I'm not sure how z data is stored in OSM (if at all). If not, then maybe in an app one could select points where one knows the altitude (without necessarily uploading the data to OSM per se). If yes then adding precision to interpolated altitudes with one's own data would be useful.

Is there someting along those lines somewhere ? If not, what do OSM'ers do to start new projects ? GitHub ?

TIA,

YvesM
