[OSM-dev] Retrieve Nearest Way

[Ian Dees]

Hi dev,

I'm trying to write a mockup for simple editing tool and one of the steps
needed is to have a fairly quick "find nearest way" call. Can anyone
recommend some reading or pseudocode to find the nearest way given a
lat/lon?

The searches I've done come up with lots of nearest-neighbor papers, but
nothing that would help me find a nearest-edge given a graph.

Thanks,
Ian
