I've been searching for a way to create vehical routes based on the information stored in a database and have it displayed on a website. I am using PHP (obviously) and I haven't been able to locate any 3rd party routing software that will work with PHP. Has anyone done something like this or know of a company that offers a service that might help. They currently use a desktop program and enter the info by hand to create the routes for their drivers. We would like this to eb web based because their employees are spread over a large area and they need to access the route info from different places.
Thanks,
Keith

Why not just integrate google maps or yahoo maps?

Neither google or yahoo provide routing. Google says they don't and offers a google search of other people who do. Yahoo does but specifically says you are not allowed to use the API for fleet routing, if you found a way to make it work. I may have come across a solutuion in my searching on Yahoo and Google though. I will post it if it works out.
I would still like feedback from anyone whos created something like this.
