I made a demonstration of how the yournavigation.org website can be embedded inside osm.org. Check it out:
http://nroets.dev.openstreetmap.org/demo/?lat=52.32796&lon=5.62046&zoom=15&layers=B000FTFT As you can see, it is hidden inside '+' (the layers). There are two reasons for this: Firstly, I did not want to make a new layout that will not work on small screens. Secondly it will help to make the computing power requirement more manageable. Once we understand user preferences and load levels better, we can unhide it. The computer it is running on (Errol) is 10 times larger than YOURS and can keep everything in RAM. So it is possible to find the shortest route from New York to California, in other words routing through the massive TIGER network. However, when the server becomes too busy, it will return partial routes (routes that start with a jump). The data is the current planet file. Importing a new planet file takes approximately 5 hours. The YOURS javascript is quite powerful. You can have more than 2 points, i.e. a via point. You can drag them inside the panel to change their order and you can drag them on the map to reposition them. This demo has also helped to make YOURS more portable, so that it will be easier to integrate it with other OpenLayers sites. We are still looking for a volunteer to implement driving directions. It is a simple, well defined job. Any computer language can be used. It will be nice to have i18n capabilities but any product out there can be used. It can also be independent of both YOURS and the current Gosmore routing engine, so it can have a life of it's own. There is a little bit of 2D geometry involved, but we will help with the formulas. Lambertus pointed out that some bicycles routes take strange detours when the fastest option is chosen. I know what the problem is and I'll fix it shortly.
