OpenStreetMap - The free map of the world

I've published new improvements for render(myMap) tool, my way of mapping OpenStreetMap using printed papers. Changes improve readabilty. (We might be getting older..) Please read on for list of new changes!

I've added several new features to my OpenStreetMap printing tool, called render(myMap), but never mentioned it in this blog before. You can find some info in my references page or read on.

I've added some improvements to the openstretmap.hu website:

• PlanetPlanet news aggregator
• Ability to search multiple POIs (e.g. bank & atm, or when shop type does not matter, you just need some food)
• Added a name-less business card created by a professional designer
• Coordinates supported in search box

And of some minor improvements, mainly in usabilty of search box, and updated street autocomplete database.

I've updated the openstreetmap.hu website with some new features and new page layout. New features inlcude:

• Autocomplete for Hungarian city names and streets
• Remember last viewed position
• Nice GUI using jQuery UI framework
• Directly controll JOSM from "Edit in JOSM" menu
• Improve "Send to" by e-mail field and URL copy field and better "Add marker"

The www.openstreetmap.hu domain was occupied by an empty HTML file for years. Recently I discovered it is free, so registered it immediately. Let's see if someone will complain.

Update: The old owner of the domain is happy with the new site. :-)

With help of an OSM-JS professional, we got the new site up & running in a few days  - thank you mate!

Based on the RealProSite CMS, I've created a new Hungarian website where I write tutorials for editing OpenStreetMap the free wiki map of the world.
