[OSM-newbies] Finding closet node?

[Tareq Ismail]

Hey guys,

Sorry to email again, I'm new and trying to figure things out and I think
I've got a misunderstanding of how the OSM format works.

So Pyroutelib <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/PyrouteLib> does node to
node routing, if I have a specific lat/lon how do I use Pyroutelib to do
routing? I feel I can't just insert my own node with that lat/lon since it
won't be a part of a 'way' or other road relations?

Any help or referral to another list that can help would be greatly
appreciated :)
Thanks,

Tareq Ismail
