A good approach for www.adomingobrokerage.page.tl is to simply create a webpage of the properties with OSM as a background map to show locations.

I actually think that's pretty cool that a resort would go out of its way to add itself to OSM. Tells you that they acknowledge OSM and deem it important to add themselves to the map. ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
