[Mapserver-users] Best Path & Best Path Length?

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

David,

What you are looking for is routing. Mapserver does not do this 
although there are various people working at doing this on the side. 
If you want to google for this try "shortest path algorithm" also 
search the list archives for "routing"

In addition to Routing, you will also need Geocoding, the ability to 
turn and address into a lat/long or appropriate road segment that the 
router can use for the start and end points.

I have some demos working on my site at:
   http://imaptools.com/
You will find some other site list in the archives.
