Re: [OSM-talk] Routing on osm.org

Thanks to all those involved in adding routing to OSM. Routing is a major enhancement to OSM. As Rob said, it will help us fix mapping errors that we may not have noticed without the feature. Thanks, Clifford On Mon, Feb 16, 2015 at 11:20 AM, Rob Nickerson rob.j.nicker...@gmail.com wrote:
