OpenStreetMap Hits One Million Registered Users 58
An anonymous reader writes "OSM passed the one million registered users mark! Sure, similar to Wikipedia, the number of active contributors is a factor of 5 lower (something like ~200k) but the growth of data is impressive. So why not have a look at your neighborhood and assist on mapping? Nothing big, just visit OSM bugs and add for example your favorite place and a house number."

As mentioned, http://map.project-osrm.org/ [project-osrm.org] is one of the best routers that uses OSM data. There is also http://open.mapquest.com [mapquest.com] which might even integrate with the MQ mobile app so you can find a route in a browser, then send it to the MQ app to take in the car. There is also routing on http://maps.cloudmade.com/ [cloudmade.com] although sometimes it seems like they are a little out of date.
But there is code being worked on to integrate OSRM into the osm.org website itself.
