Hi Nick, I am not sure if openstreet will solve my purpose. What I have in mind is that when someone is planning a trip , he can enter the route details in the trip info. This should give the approximate distance etc. ( btw bike = motorcycle here in India). Also apart from google maps I have not really come across any mapping service which has a good coverage of roads and cities in India.
