OSM is the data. It is not the example map rendering on openstreetmap.org. Sad but true. I wish there was no map at all but instead a selection of nice looking and more useful maps listed.

For routing give these a try:

http://map.project-osrm.org/

http://open.mapquest.com/

http://maps.cloudmade.com/

http://openrouteservice.org/

Compared to proper editors the Google map maker thing is horrifying. I tried to use it once and gave up because it just did not do what I was trying to do (adding 3 simply streets).

The was the only one that opened upon a map over me :-)

That is bad (especially because I personally like that one the least). Could you share details about your configuration?
