[OSM-talk] Announce: Google Earth OSM POI kml overlay & OpenStreetMap overlays

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi All,

Some of you might not be too excited about this, but i am. :)

(here's a screenshot of it)

I use the kml map overlay from http://www.mgmaps.com/kml/
and just set it to 25% transparency.

i then use the new kml overlay "openstreetmap Points of Interest to Google
Earth
http://www.jrq.ch/osmpoi/osmpoi.kml

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Andy9FromSpace/diary/9402

It works (what looks like) only when the POI is a NODE and not for an area.
And it looks like it gets a feed from the database directly the stuff i
added on tuesday shows up before the cyclemap renders it)

The mgmaps also show yahoo imagery as an option (since we are NOT allowed to
copy that imagery that you see from Google).  Only the stuff that's listed
on the wiki.

Im still waiting to hear back from the author to learn more.

Hope that helps some people out there,
Sam
