[Routing] Fellow mappers, , , I have the pleasure to announce the initial release of a high-perfomance, routing backend that is able to handle thousand(s) of requests per, minute. So, without further ado, here is the Open Source Routing Machine,

> There is already a geoJSON implementation in the interface to Gosmore in
> YOURS (an opensource web based routing site). Source code here:

> Documentation on how to use the API for Gosmore is here:

I went to our routing demo site with my Atom netbook and calculated a
route from East Coast US to West Coast US. The routing took 10 or 20
seconds, but when the data came in, Firefox warned me a couple of
times that the script may have hanged. I just hit 'continue' and sure
enough it was displayed.

Apart from GeoJSON, another optimization may be to give the data in
the OpenLayers display projection, which is usually 900913 (google).

I fixed many problems with the demo site. Dennis Nienhüser (from
Marble) is writing an instruction generator. It's far from complete,
but the results are displayed in the relevant tab.
