There can be some problems. I encountered a few roads that route planner wouldn't let me go down. Turns out two lines were butted up against each other but not connected (which I then went and fixed).
Ah, thanks for that info. That will come in useful if I decide to download OSM onto my phones' SD card. Since I have the option of using the locus app for navigating my RWGPS route I have new options. The locus app gives the user the option of choosing which router he wishes to use and I believe that OSM is one of them ( although it is likely an on-line option ) I don't know if OSM offers an off-line router or not....anyone know?
