[OSM-dev] Using shp2osm.pl for Routing?

[Tareq Ismail]

Hello all,

I wanted to use pyroutelib for routing but am not satisfyied with the osm
maps for the region I'm interested in. I recently purchased a shp file of
the area and wanted to try use pyroutelib with it, this means converting the
shp file to osm. I've looked at a few shp file to osm converters and so far
I think the best solution is shp2osm, found here:
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/import/shp2osm/

What do you guys think? Will shp2osm work well for routing? I read that it
connects nodes well so I'm hoping it works well for routing, do you think
this conversion approach will work well?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!!
