house to house/address to address connections #16

First I would like to thank you so much for this application. Finally some good working application for public transportation. Thank you so much!

It would be nice if fahrplan would also have a function to calculate house to house connections, so that you just input two addresses and it calculates the best route for it. As part of it, there should then be an option to adjust the walking speed. And if you tap the walk to the station, it should offer the option to show the route / navigate you with Nokia Maps (pedestrian navigation).

Currently all backends search and filter only for station name as from/to station, with some backends there is the possibility to search for streets too, but i don't know if the walk speed could be configured and it is possible, that the search gets clouded by these results. But i will have a look at it.

Thanks! Maybe you would like to have a look at the Oeffi (java-)backends, because they seem to have already implemented it.

For Holland you could parse the m.9292.nl site, which is quite straight forward

This is a "feature" i currently filter (via parameter) that only "stations" will be found, mainly because the "search by name" which caused problems. with the new search by id code from @leppa it should work.

But this should be also an optional feature via global settings.

Maybe, something like slide out options when search field gets activated? Or GPS-alike button on the left/right of the search field.
