A few comments.
It's good to see clickable POIs coming along
There was some discussion at the EWG about POI display being targeted at
mappers vs. end users. Which is this aiming at?
The clicks seem to be misclassifying admin_level. Testing (at
http://overpass.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/go/WJQjK_Ot--) is showing that it
represents both 2 and 4 as "State boundary", 6 as "City boundary" and 8 as
"Suburb boundary". The 2, 4, 6, and 8 are country, province, district and
city here. In the US it would be country, state, county and city (except in
Alaska, which doesn't have counties). I'm not sure of an English name for
the admin_level=4 regions that is not country-specific. The best I can come
up with is "Regional boundary"
It doesn't seem to do anything with named landuse=residential areas. It
probably should.
It doesn't find the New Westminster Professional Building at
http://overpass.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/go/WJHXezFoS-- but it does find
the nearby 7th St Professional building.
How difficult will this be to merge with the notes branch
(http://notes.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/)? That does a lot with Leaflet too
and also captures clicks.
My recollection is that there have been concerns in the past about making
www.osm.org reliant on non-OSMF hosted hardware. Is the plan to use an
existing overpass server, an OSMF-hosted overpass server, or something else?
