Agreed, but this is designed entirely for Fire Eagle and a mobile interface.

I'm exporting from the OSM Extended API
, which spits it out
in XML. It's easy enough to parse into GPX if you wanted to.

is there a way to get those results as xml (or even better, for
my purposes, as gpx waypoints)?

Namefinder already does this:

http://gazetteer.openstreetmap.org/namefinder?find=pubs+near+52.21038,0.14544

http://gazetteer.openstreetmap.org/namefinder?find=schools+near+53.32334,-1.91415

as well as e.g.

Hello all,

I wrote a really simple application to grab your location from Fire
Eagle, and show you the nearest five pubs. Of course, the pub data is
sourced from OSM
(only those with names set). You'll need a Fire Eagle invitation for it to work.

http://www.iamnear.net

I'm still messing around with it, but any suggestions are greatly
appreciated, included what the next x.iamnear.net should be.

Cheers,

Tom
