[OSM-newbies] Speed Limits

[John Wesley Simpson]

Very odd... This is actually the first e-mail I've seen from you.  
The :forward & :backward definitely look like better options to me than
trying to copy & paste in a duplicate route.

if anybody knows how to pull in a route from osm, I would really
appreciate being educated.

The current setting in maemo-mapper is to request routes with "Source
URL" set to:
  http://www.gnuite.com/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi?saddr=%s&daddr=%s

The problem with that is that it uses google data, which doesn't (as far
as I know) include the osm edits.

I did find http://www.yournavigation.org/ that uses osm, but I don't see
how to perform an automatic query.
