Hi Nadeem, Using the api sounds like a good approach for looking at data in a particular region.
If you are using PostGIS to query data I would look into PGRouting, at the very least to get some ideas. http://pgrouting.org/ Here is documentation on converting api xml to a format that is useful for routing. http://workshop.pgrouting.org/chapters/osm2pgrouting.html Cheers, Travis On Sun, Jul 28, 2013 at 8:24 AM, Nadeem Anjum <[email protected]>wrote: > Additionally, I have downloaded to osm data and am using PostGIS to query > it. > > Thanks, > Nadeem > > > On Sun, Jul 28, 2013 at 12:52 PM, Nadeem Anjum <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Hi Travis, >> >> Great to know that you have worked with openstreetmap.
