[OSM-dev] How to calculate 'Areas of Interest' with OpenStreetMap data?

[Stefan Keller]

Hi,

I'm thinking since some time about criteria and an algorithm to find
'Areas of Interest' in OpenStreetMap data (aka "action around you"
[1]).
Of course, this should be better and more objective than G* Maps [2][3] ;-).

Any ideas?
