We use OSM fairly naively for routing. We'd also like to build some simple street grid geometry metrics.
To do that, we need to be able to enumerate nodes and edges within a bounding box. Alternately, we could start with a single node or edge (assuming we can project to a closest candidate from a known point), and recursively enumerate neighbors until we cover our region of interest.
I suspect there's got to be a way to do that, either somewhere in the OSM routing API, or in a layered tool that someone has built.
Ideal: an API for C#/.Net 4.0 or 4.5, as we're running locally-cached OSM routing data and map tiles.
Can someone offer guidance?
