[Routing] Binary file format

[Jannis Achstetter]

To be honest, I didn't read the whole thread in deep, I just read pieces
of every mail to get the points.
But: I found the navigation-software "navit" 2 days ago. It's still in
early devel-state but does quite well for that. (License is GPLv2).
It uses it's own binary-format which might be very interesting for you.
There is a very fast converter from OSM to the binary-format and the
map-rendering and routing-speed is amazing IMHO. Currently they use some
kind of changed A* but they're working on this.
Germany.osm from 2007-12-16 is only about 30MB in binary so it might be
worth a look.
For best results, use the cvs-version with the GTK-gui.
To be found at: http://navit.sf.net/wiki/ and http://www.navit-project.org

Have fun ;)
