[OSM-talk] Introducing OpenStreetBrowser
Hi Folks! Some of you might already have noticed the OpenStreetBrowser, as I added it to the list of GSoC-Projects, and I've been already writing on a page in the OSM-Wiki for the last week. I had a little bit too much time in the last months, so I started to write a web-application where you can browse the OSM-content in certain categories. This includes an own style with some thematic overlays. I'm quite excited about it, there are so many possibilities in the database. It's not finished yet, but I think of the current version of a usable beta (I just updated browser support, it's even working in IE6, though with some restrictions). So ... don't want to loose to many words, just give it a try: - http://www.openstreetbrowser.org In the OSM-Wiki you find additional informations about the project: - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetBrowser Please be a little bit patient, my server is not that fast and it's still in development.

I've been looking for something like this for some time now and I know it's not easy, so it's just wonderful that someone has found the time to do it. Some comments though: - If you select a category, the items only show up as icons on the map from zoom 15. Placing markers at lower zoomlevels would also be very welcome. - some categories are incomplete. Public transport stops only shows train stations and not bus stops. That's probably because a bus stop is tagged as highway=bus_stop - shopping does not find anything in my area, although I have added shops.
