Well, thanks for it. I see I was in the wrong column when doing the "supports turn-restrictions". BTW: how do you do that? I tried to understand that part in the sourcecode but couldn't figure it out. What algorithm are you using anyway? Dijkstra and A* cannot support restrictions on nodes and I could never find a description of an algoithm named "B*" that is supposed to do that. What was your intention when changing Gosmore "supprort for house-numbers" from "no" to "??"? clearly the gosmore sources do not contain a mention of "addr:housenumber", so it cannot have support for routing you to a given housenumber, can it? > OSM certainly does not need another wiki page that merely drags down the > signal-to-noise ratio. Well, we had 10(+1) offboard navigation-application in a plain list. I merely expanded on that so the users have a chance to see what these programs can do or at least what platform they are written for without visiting and learning about each of them. A major turndown for a user who simply looks for a navigation or routing- application to USE. For half of them I couldn't even figure out if they where supposed to be used on a mobile phone, laptop or something and if they can handle a complete continent, country or barely a single city in the first 3 minutes while reading their website.
