Dear Guys
Hi:
My name is Azhar Bilgrami and Iam from Pakistan. I want to make a software for my city Karachi which will Route a User upon entering of Source and Destination Address. I Searched the web for that and i found "www.mapquest.com" exactly fulfilling the task which i desire, but for USA, i want to replicate this for my City Karachi.
By searching the Web, i FIGURED following steps for my project:

1: Acquiring the MAPS.

2: Conversion of the Map into Vector Format.

3: Dividing the Map Using either DLG/TIGER method.

4: Making the Database(Including Analysis).

5: Implementing the Database in some RDBMS.

6: Finding/Redesigning the ROUTING Algorithm.

7: Implementing that Algorithm.

8: Creation of WEBSITE

9: Integration of the Data base and the Algorithm

into one Application.

10: Integration of that Application with WEBSITE.

Now i need You people's HELP in Step 2,3,6. i.e.

How to Convert a MAP into Vector Format.

How to Apply the TIGER method of Map Division.

The Routing Algorithm.


Also correct me if these steps are wrong or

some thing is missing.

I really Need You People's help as this thing is unprecedented in Pakistan,so i have no Local Guidance :(.

Thanking You In Anticipation.

Azhar Bilgrami
