Routing with my points about osrm

[Robinlovelace]

Update: was an issue of not providing the right data class I think - this fixed it:

origin = tmap::geocode_OSM("Bradford")
destination = tmap::geocode_OSM("Leeds")
o = SpatialPointsDataFrame(matrix(origin$coords, ncol = 2), proj4string = CRS("+init=epsg:4326"),
                           data.frame(name = "o"))
d = SpatialPointsDataFrame(matrix(destination$coords, ncol = 2), proj4string = CRS("+init=epsg:4326"),
                           data.frame(name = "d"))
ro = osrmRoute(o, d, sp = T)

Great work btw - have you seen our implementation in stplanr?

Thinking it could be good to join forces on this, to avoid duplication of effort...

Hi,
stplanr is really nice and has a lot of features.

I would like to keep osrm as a standalone package. I need it for my work and I need it to be a, relatively, lightweight package.

Do you think that's a good idea to :

• submit osrm to rOpenSci
• add the 'nearest' function (and any missing features) to the package
• adapt stplanr to use osrm as a dependency

I am open to any suggestions.
