I was hoping to make the events prominent, but I guess if they're already doing
routing they've already seen them.

I may not be able to do it all in the same way that google does, but I think
gosmore handles via routing, so if I don't disable the to button, and track
additional points it should work similar to google, but they obviously spent a
lot more time/money on the problem.
It's probably important to note here that I'm not trying to compete with
google, that isn't something I'd ever win.
I'm trying to highlight benefits that OSM has over google, like all the POIs,
now that I've figured out a lot of the layer stuff doing the routing it should
be possible to do a POI layer that is shown when people do a POI search.
