Well, if the addresses are already present in the processed data (or the preprocessor can generate such files) it really should be also accessible from the daemon. Maybe submitting a feature request for this is in order ?
There is already a ticket regarding the routing daemon/CLI interface.

Feel free to use these maps for testing purposes, but don't publish any code downloading them without my permission. I have to pay for the bandwidth ;-)

Thanks!
Modrana.org is already hosted by the nice people from our faculties NLP laboratory, I'd guess It might be possible to also host the map data there - provided I ask them nicely enough

Nice, I'll look at it.

ModRana also works on Linux PCs, so a nice unified GUI for the monav/routino/etc preprocessor would be usable there.
Something like:

select an area from map or a bounding box around some point/city/etc.
download OSM data for the area
process the data to a selected output format
enable easy and efficient updating of already created routing data

Once you have the data processed, it can be moved to your mobile device...maybe even automatically ? Well, I might be thinking a little too far ahead
