In an experiment with Prolog I would like to use the data provided from OSM to calculate, for example, the shortest path to traverse a collection of points of interest. I have an idea how to do that using Prolog, and even how to access my Prolog program from a Java servlet (that should render the page with the map among other things). However, since I am new to OSM I still do not know how to let the users select a certain amount of nodes from a map, and how to answer (I mean, how to draw in the map) the shortest path to traverse them (given a user selected starting node). Could someone give me a hint about how I can ask many points of interest in the map from a user and draw a path as an answer ? asked 16 May '12, 13:30  sergioc78 edited 16 May '12, 23:36 |
One Answer:
maybe a look at the OSM wiki about Routing can be helpful ... see all sub pages there, too. There are some opensource routing programs which you could examine. answered 18 May '12, 17:09  stephan75 |
