[OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap routing service

[Lambertus]

Thanks for the links, that looks quite what I was thinking about.

Would be nice if those pages (especially the maxspeed) page could be 
easily parsed by scripts. That way only one central wikipage has to be 
maintained (instead of both the wiki page and perhaps several files in svn).
