I think it's superb. 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.
