I was also wondering about OpenStreetMap, and if there was any sort of cooperative integration with Wikimedia projects.
As far as useful maps, the genealogy society I am a member of has these incredible resource maps. Main locality page: http://data.jewishgen.org/wconnect/wc.dll?jg~jgsys~community~-502272~K Resource Map: http://data.jewishgen.org/maps/mapdist8.asp?lat=53.1167&long=19.0500 It's Google Maps but I think it's really great. There's no mobile version of these pages but I checked that the map works pretty well on my iPhone. It is content rich and interactive, pointing to resources. I have also created maps that trace biographical data for a Holocaust survivor in my family that mapped where he was during and after the war. It is probably overkill for many biographical entries but for important historical figures it might be sort of cool. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hy-PVwQ92xYXlscW0_k1-Si0hKw&usp=sharing I also like leaflet -- http://leafletjs.com/ -- very gorgeous. - Erika *Erika Herzog* Wikipedia *User:BrillLyle* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BrillLyle> Secretary, Wikimedia NYC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC> On Mon, May 2, 2016 at 6:29 PM, Federico Leva (Nemo) <[email protected]> wrote: > Elias Friedman, 02/05/2016 23:42: > >> I have never found interactive maps to be particularly useful anyplace >> I've >> found them throughout the web.
