I want to like OpenStreetMap, I really do...
If I see a place on the map.. Why can't I click on it? I can't get the address, telephone number, website etc.?
And I see and picture of a shopping basket? What is it? I also see a cocktail glass, it's a fucking mystery.
- aw3c2 13y agoYou are confusing the map data with a website (probably openstreetmap.org). That functionality is possible, check out some PoCs: http://r2d2.stefanm.com/mapnik/demo.html http://r2d2.stefanm.com/mapnik/demo.html http://overpass.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/ http://overpass.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/ http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Top_Ten_Tasks/Progress/Clickable_POIs_on_the_frontpage http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Top_Ten_Tasks/Progress/Cl...
- mikegreen 13y agoCompletely agree. I posted nearly the same reply to the other "you gotta use OSM!" thread a few weeks ago. Completely unusable as a replacement to apple or google maps, for me. Might be OK for looking for roads, like, uh, a street map - but to replace gmaps functionality with the simple feature of "click on an icon and show me the details" it is not.
- bliker 13y agoThere is also http://www.openlinkmap.org/ http://www.openlinkmap.org/ But nothing really usable I agree
- morganherlocker 13y agoNot intuitive, but zoom in and hit the edit button. You should now see all the data as vectors. Click on anything and you will see all of the metadata.
- rmc 13y agoOr zoom in and show the "Data" layer
