Hi! For some days I'm experimenting with a motorcycle related map of europe using "standard" OSM maps (osmarender / mapnik served tiles) and openlayers. "My map" is currently not online as I have to sort out licensing stuff, e.g. of the used icons.
Using openlayers (and the mechanism described in: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Openlayers_POI_layer_example) I'm displaying lot's of mountain passes and some other motorcycle related things, the data is derived from wikipedia information (and because of the different licenses GFDL vs. CC-BY-SA2.0 I - unfortunately - can't include them into OSM :-( However, with openlayers I'm able to display specific icons for the mountain passes and clicking on them get's a pop up with more detailed info like a link to wikipedia. This is done using a text file containing the infos in a tab seperated file. But - even after having a deep look at the openlayer API docs and the various examples, I couldn't find a way to display a little text near the icon, e.g. "Stilfser Joch", this would make the map much more useful. Currently it's a bit annoying to search for a specific mountain pass - click on each icon to show the pop up until you get the right one :-( Am I just too blind to see? Is there a way to show a small text near an icon using openlayers?
