[OSM-talk] Best for routing ? [Implementing driving directions like Google Maps-with text assistance]

[rajan vaish]

Hi,For a project in my mind,which implements driving directions like Google
Maps ,as in, along with route on map,we get text along the same describing
the path/route from the source to destination,step by step.What do you guys
think will be the best routing technique/library/API ?  (language not a
problem at all) .

I have been exploring OSM Routing page and related for more than an hour
now,and came across some very cool stuff,but since there are so many,wanted
to get feedback to help me choose to best for the purpose. Also,I found many
Sourceforge links broken/empty,which stopped me from further exploring.
I totally understand the need of OSM Tags for Routing everywhere. So,there
are various libraries which caught my attention :
1- OSMNavigation and LibOSM.
2- GraphServer .
3-Pyroute Lib.
I also explored YOURS and ORS .Under ORS,its mentioned about ORS APIs which
seems very cool,on getting desired results through URL manipulation,however
,it does not solves the purpose to grab the name of streets ,exact
directions etc which can be converted into text,which is what I want.I have
attached a snapshot of google maps,with text in left explaining the
route,something which I intend to implement.

Will greatly appreciate any help or guidance,regarding the same.Thank you.
Rajan
