I have already replied to this in the same thread, <a
href="http://www.papou.byethost9.com/maps/OpenLayers.html">showing
a similar POI map</a> with more controls, selectable backgrounds,
multiple, selectable POI sets possibly from different sources
maintaining them themselves, mapping GPX routes and other data types
....<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
BTW, Osmand mentions <i><b>Worldwide Wikipedia POIs</b></i> files
to download and there is none for Belgium. Why is this? <br>
Wikipedia's <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_interest">Point of
interest</a> itself does not seem to know these files.<br>
