>From the demo last night, I am very impressed at what they were able to build for such a short period. OpenTripPlanner powered by OSM is very impressive. At least for Metro Manila, multi-modal trip routing and planning is now possible. Most of the apps used Google's geocoding api. As Eugene mentioned, this is perhaps where OSM needs to improve.
