Tobias Knerr:
However, the approach with the very large and prominent markers on
openstreetmap.ru can only really be used together with the feature
catalogue. If every single POI in the map were to be represented like
that, the screen would be flooded with markers.
A feature catalogue requires a very different approach to using the
map,
though: The user has to be quite methodical to first decide what they
are looking for, then open the appropriate category in the catalogue.
Spontaneous spatial exploration would not happen. So it's not a given
that it would be the right user interface for osm.org.
But aren't we currently rendering POIs on a map layer, with labelled
icons? I'm sure those two approaches can be combined.
