[Routing] Route format

[Audrey Colbrant]

Hi Tim and Jaak,

Thanks for your answers.

>The mentioned GPX and KML formats however work on geo coordinates and thus may not suitable.
I have decided to output GPX format after route calculation.
This is a standard format for exchanging GPS data, and it can be easily converted.
Not fully suitable, but I can manage, hopping for 

>(A* but most of the performance gos into disk access because mobile devices are target and I do not want to load the whole datafiles into memory) 
Why don't externalize route calculation on remote server and send back data to the device?

>I'm always interested in other people (in this case you - without knowing your concrete algorithm) integration their algorithm into my library.
I am using Dijkstra algorithm, downloaded somewhere and modified for my needs [1]
Route calculation is processed on a remote server because I use a remote repository.

>I would also prefer to separate route calculation from route description.
Moreover, data structure isn't the same. I convert OSM data into edges and vertex, then I run Dijkstra and convert resulting route in GPX. 

>Only standard for routing results (and also requests) what I've found is OpenLS routing XML.
I have seen this website while I was looking for a standard. Good starting point :)
