Very odd... This is actually the first e-mail I've seen from you. The :forward & :backward definitely look like better options to me than trying to copy & paste in a duplicate route.
if anybody knows how to pull in a route from osm, I would really appreciate being educated. The current setting in maemo-mapper is to request routes with "Source URL" set to: http://www.gnuite.com/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi?saddr=%s&daddr=%s The problem with that is that it uses google data, which doesn't (as far as I know) include the osm edits. I did find http://www.yournavigation.org/ that uses osm, but I don't see how to perform an automatic query. -- John Wesley Simpson <[email protected]> SwaJime's Cove On Thu, 2008-12-11 at 19:20 +0100, Alberto Nogaro wrote: > >-----Original Message----- > >From: [email protected] [mailto:newbies- > >[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sascha Silbe > >Sent: giovedì 11 dicembre 2008 18.26 > >To: [email protected] > >Subject: Re: [OSM-newbies] Speed Limits > > > >Another way to do it that hasn't been mentioned yet is appending a ":left" > / > >":right" or ":forward" / ":backward" suffix to the tag.
