Exactly. For the first research phase, I need to know the physical characteristics of the road. Now, what I'd like is a way to query if a road intersects another. Since in a 100mX15m area, there won't be that many nodes at all I can just compare all nodes to all other nodes and make a short hierarchy, but if you have any tips for how I can phrase that with the API I'm all ears. > I'm a little confused about exactly what you are doing.

Offline, I'll prepare the database and then store it on media, most likely an SD card or Compact Flash. Since it's unlikely that any one person will simultaneously need data for all major continents, I can split it into chunks that fit on whatever memory card is most economical to buy. >How many of these devices will you be producing? (Cost optimization consumer > devices is very different than that for something you make 100 of.) This will be used produced for consumer use, but the cost optimization is not one to maximize profit. Instead, we're looking to keep price as low as possible so that it's accessible to the largest number of people. How many that is depends on how well we do our job. >What are you doing with the intersecting roads once you have found them? What I'm doing with the intersecting roads is using them for optimization and navigation. Using a GPS, I hope to be able to check that the vehicle is still on the optimized route.
