Re: [OSM-talk] Displaying videos from around the world on OSM?
Thanks for all of your help everyone! Lots of useful tips and links: * http://crowdmap.com * http://weait.com/content/control-appearance-your-business-openstreetmap * http://toads.raggedred.net/ * http://usergroups.openstreetmap.de * http://www.openstreetbugs.org * http://www.aphes.com/map/ We're buried in logistics for the event later this week, so I think we'll defer the Great Open Data Census until the Open Data Day on 3rd December: http://www.opendataday.org/ So watch this space!

Dear Jonathan, Nah, let's do it on-list so others can participate! :-) The key, really, is OpenLayers. OpenLayers will let you associate links, text, images, etc. with a map location. You can display icons on the map and deliver pop-ups with more information. You can set this up on your web site with the help of the following tutorial. Change the icons and content of the popup to suit your requirements http://weait.com/content/control-appearance-your-business-openstreetmap You can probably automate this so that users can click a location, fill in a text box, add a link to a video, etc. Best regards, Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I then went on to use this to create a map of where students come from on a course, showing a YouTube video to replace the toad photo, which worked well. (It is not available to share ATM). The students and toads are not connected, but the code is similar!

This shows up the local meetups (some with photos) of OSM http://usergroups.openstreetmap.de (uses a bot and wiki templates to generate the map generated by users) Another starting point for such crowd source editing might be: www.openstreetbugs.org www.aphes.com/map/ bye Matthias ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
