I have already replied to this in the same thread, showing a similar POI map <http://www.papou.byethost9.com/maps/OpenLayers.html> with more controls, selectable backgrounds, multiple, selectable POI sets possibly from different sources maintaining them themselves, mapping GPX routes and other data types .... All this in a simpler HTML code making additions straightforward to anyone. No left pane, though, but, in a word, techniques that could very nicely be merged with Julien's excellent work.
The most important issue is POI file format. Especially, there is no widespread standard defining a common format for anyone to publish on the Web a POI list usable by anyone to put on his map. OSM e.g. is a POI format, but not of a publishable list (that could refer to OSM to get the actual data or cache it). BTW, Osmand mentions /*Worldwide Wikipedia POIs*/ files to download and there is none for Belgium. Why is this? Wikipedia's Point of interest <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_interest> itself does not seem to know these files. André.
