[OSM-talk] Using OpenStreetMap on a daily basis

[Immanuel Giulea]

I'm also very new at Openstreetmap and want to add my 2cents.

I think a directory of all the tools available would be a great starting
point.

So far I was introduced to wheelmap and overpass.

But not any of the fantastic dozens of tools available.

If those tools were allowed as layers on the main map I would be happy.

Let's face it openstreetmap is very little known. I have contacted the
geography faculties here in Montreal to let them know an alternative to
gmaps exists.

Google has become synonymous to search engine.
Gmaps has become synonymous to mapping.
