[OSM-talk] Four cheers for OSM

[Richard Weait]

Bravo! OSMers.  

In the last few days I've been brushing up my presentation slides for an
Introduction to OpenStreetMap talk that I'm giving on Monday.  I also
gave the talk about two weeks ago and these are things that I just have
to bring to the attention of these new potential OSM enthusiasts.  

The Geofabrik history animations.  I gave the talk in Toronto and was
able to show the animation of Toronto just a few days later to folks
with follow-up questions.  They love it!  

OpenRouteService.org with re-routing around traffic and construction
delays.  Fabulous!  

tile.openstreetmap.nl/~lambertus/routing-world Routing with elevation
profiles.  Delightful!  

The Cycle Map with hill shading, and a shiny new award.  Well done!

I've updated each of these in my slides and anticipate a wonderful
response from the attendees.  Thank you, OSM developers, for these
exciting improvements.
