My thoughts about this are to have a new type of node
called a route.
Such nodes contain a list of (x,y) or (lat,long) pairs tracing a route.
These are joined together by straight lines when displaying on SVG or suchlike.
Sounds similar to an idea I had for when you're going on a journey and
want to find all the stuff that is within a range of your route.
Ideally upload your MS Autoroute or GPS route waypoints?
This idea would be great for my site. Geek goes on holiday with
non-geeks and non-geek agenda. Geek puts in route to find where the
group's plan can be merged with some geek sites to see :)
