+<p>Thanks to
+<ahref="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Opengeodata/~3/wUTCzDZk3lc/project-of-the-week-which-way-home">todays
+opengeodata blog entry</a>, I just discovered that the
+OpenStreetmap.org site have gotten
+<a href="http://nroets.dev.openstreetmap.org/demo/index.html?layers=B000FTFTT">support
+for calculating routes</a>. The support is still experimental and
+only available from the development server, until more experience is
+gathered on the user interface and any scalability issues.</p>
+
+<p>Earlier, routing using the OpenStreetmap.org data was provided by
+<a href="http://maps.cloudmade.com/">Cloudmade</a>, but having it on
+the main page is required to make everyone aware of the issue. I've
+had people reject Openstreetmap.org as a viable alternative for them
+because the front page lacked routing support, and I hope their needs
+will be catered for when routing show up on the www.openstreetmap.org
+front page.</p>
