Routing for mapserver/postgis. A professional Open Source solution?

[Mario Basa]

Hello Flavio,

Yup, turn restrictions is in the very top of the TODO list.

I hope that you are aware though that those "shortest path" products
are perfect for
get-gps-position-from-cellphone-and-find-route-to-sushi-restaturant-in-a-dense-city
type of application (i.e. LBS) where turn restrictions have very
little meaning. So, although it is not a classic street routing
application yet, it has some usage :-).

Regards,

Mario.
