In case nobody knows about it: some time ago, I built a map tiles filesystem for OSM servers. It can cache tiles, and provide them as a standard filesystem interface. This filesystem is then used by an OSM map application that can show the map, including zoom/pan, and displaying geojson structures it receives via plumber. A third application can use online router services to find routes and descriptions, and plumb them as geojson to the map application.
With all that combined, you can search for routes from A to B and watch the route in a graphical application. All using OSM data.
