Helsinki area routes and directions in Maemo Mapper

Update:
MaemoMapper now fully supports downloading of routes by address also in Finland. This makes the service of this post obsolete.
I’ve been fiddling with Maemo Mapper and Holux GPSlim 240 unit for a few weeks now, and I must say the combination is pretty amazing.
The problem I had was that though Route download works, and with flite I even get hilarious voice directions, there was no way of finding a route by a specific address. So I decided to do some bubblegum php with kartta.hel.fi and some coordinate transformation functions to make a service to get GPS coordinates from an address in the Helsinki area.
It’s not integrated to the Maemo Mapper, so you’ll have to copy the location to Route Download-dialog box, but It’s better than nothing. Feel free to use it.
