Route Explication

Does pgRouting support route explication? ie: natural language driving directions?

Is anyone working on this? or did I miss that in the docs?

I'm new to pgRouting and still reading through the demos and the docs.

Thanks, -Steve

    Well, it is possible to describe a routing output with natural language, but it depends on the data you have and the way you want to describe a path (with street names, directions or landmarks also).

    I think it is too much data-dependent to make it a part of library. Or else we need to think about the data structure standard for both input and output.

    Some discussion can be found here - http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/discussion/12/27/111#108
