But they do in other applications
a routing application can either show only nodes and ways it can identify or 
show all nodes and ways, even if they aren't identified by the application 
because someone may need it.
There was a lot of experimentation last month with routing applications which 
identified a few errors in our roads
I looked at Navit again and wondered again what those big boxes were for.
