bit of a surprise - Wasnt expecting the Tyne Bridges there! Smiled even more!

Lucky that you managed to avoid all the rain off late!

I'll try the same feat with my N800 at the mouth of the Tyne. It usually stays at home whilst I run sports tracker on my Nokia 6120

I keep mine in a pocket while cycling, so i'm trying to make an audio navigation help that does not require internet connexion to find route (and that guide you by voice).

http://sayhoo.garage.maemo.org/

It s slow, it eats lots of memory, it does not automatically compute new route if you get far away from the planned one, it tends to give you route information a bit too late, audio is difficult to understand, but it s fun.

Let me know if you would like the data that match Newcastle :-)

You consider cyborg, from xkcd? I've built some necessary gpsd stuff (gpspipe) and hacked it up to suit my taste better (results here); I've used it cycling, although more for fun on a route I already know than as an actual navigational aid...

(Edit: I do realize it doesn't do what you're doing, and I guess you're probably too far along for it to be of interest as a base; so consider it merely an interesting detail rather than a suggestion.)

Huhu, that was how it worked with sayhoo too before i realised openstreetmap gave enough information to get a full graph of street.

The direction based trick was cool, but did not work well in a city with so many one way street than Paris.

Digging around, i saw pyroute and pyrender and try to make something similar.
