Hi Lambertus - YOURS gets more awesome by the day. I just figured out how to cut my journey to work by 1km.
Could you add the no-names layer to the GUI? It would be useful to spec out the potential for en-route mapping whilst planning a route. Also, I think I should be able to download the GPX, then load it onto a Garmin as a route and use it for kind-of routing on the device whilst cycling. GPS Babel stalls when I try this though. Has anyone tried this out? If I get it to work I'll write some documentation to go with the site, if this would be useful?
