http://gpsies.com/ is not opensource and it defaults to google maps, but it has openstreetmap support, as well as many other cool features.

Re: [OSM-talk] Placeopedia replacement
Thanks Nic. That seems to be more for tracks. In it's simplest form, I'm just looking for a map with Points of Interest highlighted on it, ie, tourist attractions and things to see and do 2009/4/23 Nic Roets nro...@gmail.com: http://gpsies.com/ is not opensource and it defaults to google maps, but it has openstreetmap support, as well as many other cool features.

Re: [OSM-talk] Placeopedia replacement
Placeopedia is a project by mySociety, allies to OpenStreetMap. They've used OSM in the Time Travel Maps project .. http://www.mysociety.org/2007/more-travel-maps/ So, I'd suggest approaching them on one of their mailing lists and suggesting the change. Or I believe the code is open source, so you could just go ahead and start a new site. Use Mapstraction to easily switch from Google to OSM. -Mikel From: Mike Ryan mike.r...@redmar.com To: talk@openstreetmap.org Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 2:04:56 AM Subject: [OSM-talk] Placeopedia replacement ce, All I used to use a site called placeopedia that showed a map with Wikipedia articles located on it. http://www.placeopedia.com/ Quite useful if you're planning a route and you want to see interesting sights slong the way Is anyone aware of a similar openstreetmap replacment?
