Hi Nick, Cool webapp!
Two questions and two cents: * How does it scale? * Why is it named "countryside" (is there a technical requirement compared to city guides?) * When zooming in, selected additional layers become deselected. * Layout: I would introduce a header. See also http://www.geonames.org/ for more inspiration of 'wiki' style POI editing Stefan 2008/3/15, Nick Whitelegg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hello everyone, > > As part of some Freemap enhancements I've been working on the last two > days or > so, I've implemented (in PHP) a simple point-of-interest 'wiki' together > with > a simple API for performing operations on a PostGIS OSM database.
