Hi,
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.
My approach while looking on a card is, searching for information. So I

The question we should be asking is what sort of approach helps

If we're talking about upping expectations, let me toss in: speed. If we do
POIs we should do them right and that includes instant response in my mind.

Hi. I'd like to put the discussion of Roland's POI feature in

Dear all,
have you ever been annoyed that Mapnik doesn't render a name for a street or a
pub, although you are interested in?
The POI click feature for osm.org now has a public prototype:

Just click on the map somewhere and all the nearby named items
Neat! I think this is a great feature that makes our data easier for
potential users and editors to see which makes it more obvious that we
are more than just a pretty map.

Hi.
Some remarks:
1) zooming in by double click should IMHO not trigger the bubble zoom
in to...
2) the bubble with the pois is too high sometimes. It looks like it's
size may be restricted to 100% of the window height, but that's too much
as it requires panning the map to read everything
Damn...
Forgot to mention: great effort of course - but I tested first, wrote my
results down and forgot to add the congratulation stuff before sending.

There are of course feature requests/suggestions.
1) Make it more obvious for people that the POIs can be clicked on. It
doesn't have to be on the POIs themselves so it might fall outside of
your technical solution. Or maybe lift the solution from Wikipedia's POI
map
Some good ideas can be found on http://openlinkmap.org/
But of course it depends on the goal of such a new feature... bring
something useful mainly for contributors or for a more broader audience.

Hi.
Thanks for the hint.
Last time I asked for this functionality (more than a year ago) I was
told that it's not possible in mapnik.
As far as I understand it's still a complete additional rendering to
perform, as it renders once for the tile and once for meta information
in fact.
What a great addition to the growing new tools/features to the OSM homepage.

Is that because I am not hitting the actual nodes? Or maybe you are not
covering areas properly?
