Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap "Ad"
Or just use the plus sign on the right and use the data overlay. That works nicely for Canada. I have some sample Ottawa businesses I've dropped in. I suppose I could even write a few words round couple of examples.

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap "Ad"
A nice example of using non-geographic tags (business name, contact details, opening hours etc) would be to point out openstreetbrowser ;-) On Tue, Jun 1, 2010 at 1:45 AM, john whelan wrote: > Is it worth doing a small article on OSM for them?

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap "Ad"
Is it worth doing a small article on OSM for them? It might be worth pointing out that businesses can be tagged with websites etc. and the tags can be read on line.

Indeed. A nice start and better than nothing. We can try to plan ahead and have things ready but it is a bit of a fools errand. Different audiences for different magazines would require different materials. Still, it was nice that they thought of us. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I don't know whether there is or not so this isn't a slight at anyone about not being able to seize the opportunity with the canadian business journal - but there's no harm in being prepared for the next time that this might happen.

[OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap "Ad"
Hey All, Yesterday Richard Weait and I got an email about an opportunity to put an ad for OSM in a Canadian Business Journal. Unfortunately the turn around was only a couple hours (I'm assuming some advertiser dropped out or something). Anyway we didn't have anything readily available so we weren't able to seize the opportunity. Does any materials like this exist somewhere for OSM? If not do you think there is a need for it or was this a freak occurrence? -Kate ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
