Ken: have you considered posting an answer?
Ken Cox Oct 29, 2006:
Wel l, then you know what I think. From the google results for each of the two terms + routing, I'd say that Streckenführung is the technical term and Wegfürung is more colloquial.
Stephen Sadie (asker) Oct 29, 2006:
ken: this is certainly one of the options I have been considering, just didn't want to prompt the answers and see what my fellow peers think
Ken Cox Oct 29, 2006:
Are you sure there's supposed to be a difference and the author isn't just using two practically synonymous terms to cover all the bases, as is quite common in German texts?
