Can I point people's attention to "The Web Is Your Oyster" a proof of concept I've just developed using GeoTiddlyWiki a plugin/vertical I'm developing which brings map visualisations to TiddlyWiki (see my earlier posts in the group and on my website about GeoTiddlyWiki - see http://www.jonrobson.me.uk/verticals/geotw/index.html and http://www.jonrobson.me.uk/workspaces//tiddlers/GeoTiddlyWiki/).
The idea behind it is to help you plan trips whether they be on business or for holiday. It makes use of wikitravel.org at the moment to pull down Media Wiki pages and turn them into tiddlers and geotag them using Google Local Searches API. More interestingly it works with OpenStreetMap tiles and in some browsers (still working on this though) it caches tiles locally as you view them so it turns your TiddlyWiki into an offline map which you can annotate. So here's the link - let me know one way or another your thoughts!: http://www.jonrobson.me.uk/workspaces//tiddlers/The%20Web%20Is%20Your%20Oyster%20-%20create%20and%20tweak%20travel%20itineraries%20for%20your%20trip%20through%20the%20web/ It works best in Firefox or Safari (however the map works reasonably well in Internet Explorer). In particular I'm interested what the TiddlyWiki group thinks would be good websites this could pull data from with regards to hotels, restaurants,events in a given destination - anything you think might be good. Also any ideas of other use cases for an offline map!? Hope you enjoy!
