[Talk-us] MapQuest Announcements

[Coast, Hurricane]

Hi US OSMers,

I posted news about MapQuests four new language sites on the talk list, but wanted to share the news here too!
The whole planet is available when you visit any of the sites, so pan over to the US and see what’s there! Awesome development include: routes are draggable, you can share to FB, your GPS or by email.

I’d also like to take this moment to introduce myself the community advocate with the MapQuest team! I will manage the $1 Million fund donated by MapQuest to OSM in July. More than that, I am a communication portal between OSM and MapQuest. Feel free to contact me at hurricane.coast at mapquest.com with any questions, feedback, comments, ideas or just to say howdy!

Happy Mapping,
Hurricane Coast

Howdy!

I wanted to let your radars pick up some interesting news from MapQuest:
As of early this morning (it's 6am in Denver ;)), MapQuest announced the beta launch of four new European mapping sites built on OpenStreetMap data!

I've got to say, it's super cool to see it's powered by Nominatim and features like draggable routes!
And-- you can send your maps to Facebook, your GPS and email.
Woohoo!

You can check out the sites at http://open.mapquest.fr  http://open.mapquest.de  http://open.mapquest.it and  http://open.mapquest.es

These sites are in addition to http://open.mapquest.co.uk which was launched earlier in the summer.
