Re: [OSM-talk] Portal for end users

I never quite understood why all the national community portals kind of look like this ("Hi we're a community, oh, and also we have a map here if you just want that), but the OSM.org just highlights a map. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org

Re: [OSM-talk] Portal for end users

Over the years the expectation has been that somebody would take OSM data and create such an end user portal, but as we know, that has never happened outside a couple of aborted or zombie projects (three that come to mind are MapQuest, bing and skobbler, but I'm sure there have been more). I

It actually appears they are claiming to do so (based on Mapbox attribution), though I question how recent their snapshot is or how they're coming to some of the conclusions they are in the Tulsa area, http://mapq.st/1fX5bwr . Some major glaring inconsistencies are standing out, as in this is

Ah, ok, I hadn't checked the US, but the other places I'd looked at used OSM. The site seems to have fallen over now, however. On 15 September 2015 at 17:19, Ian Dees wrote: > http://beta.mapquest.com/ does not use OSM data in the US, at least. > > On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at

[OSM-talk] Portal for end users

I had an idea to add UMap functionality to OSM.org website and I discovered Mateusz Konieczny lately wanted to add a dynamic layer with opening hours (and some more data), which I think would be also useful for users: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/1038
