Have you considered the existing software that will let you route and
render from OpenStreetMap?

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Desktop

Many of these are open source and you could replace the existing
routing with your own design.  Some might even provide a modular
approach to routing tools?

You might want to contribute to an existing routing project rather
than going off on your own project?
