This is what a friend of mine would call "trying to build an IKEA sofa with a fork". Mapnik is just not the right tool for this job. > I was looking for both a way to highlight a route on a map, and also > generate the cues (ie: turn left on Oak Street). In order to highlight stuff on a map, you can use OpenLayers' vector capabilities to draw a semi-transparent vector on top of a slippy map. And, for calculating the routes and generating the driving directions, you'll need a route-finding algorithm and related software. Look for "travelling salesman" and Gosmore.
