Does anyone know of an application for BlackBerry phones that allows one to search for OSM POIs of a certain type within a certain distance from a given location, or alternately of a web site that allows such searches? I know of some sites that allow one to search for a POI by name, but I am looking for the type of search where you know what type of POI you are interested in, but not its name or exact location. This would allow a version of the location-based searches that various commercial applications and services (such as Google) offer. Ideally, you could supply the content of more than one tag, so as to narrow down the results.
I have a mapping program on my BlackBerry, BigTinCan Mapper, that will display OSM tiles. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the type of search capability I am looking for, and most POIs only show up at maximum zoom, where only a small geographical area is visible on-screen. This makes it not particularly practical for large-scale POI searches. -- John F.
