[Talk-us] [OSM-talk] [Announcement] Support added for route waypoints in YOURS

[Richard Weait]

Congratulations, Lambertus, on the added functionality of your
wonderful routing service using OpenStreetMap data.  Last time I
looked at this, you were only routing in Europe.  So thank you for
adding Canada and USA to your service.  To celebrate, I asked for a
route

From: Museum of Modern Art,
New York, NY

To: a Tim Hortons coffee shop in Hespeler Ontario, where an OSM meetup
is scheduled tonight.

and yournavigation.org returns a perfectly reasonable[1] route of

Points: 6344
Length: 798.5 km

Congratulations and thanks again.  All of this wonderful code and a
BSD license?  Fantastic.

Best regards,
Richard
