[OSM-talk] How best to create a "single point of interest" online map with OSM data?

[Bryce Nesbitt]

What's the best way to create a global "single point of interest" map, with
OSM?


I'm thinking something like this local pay phone map:
https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/brycenesbitt.j82lj086/page.html?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoiYnJ5Y2VuZXNiaXR0IiwiYSI6ImNFME9IckkifQ.Nd85HRRFP3Jy3gx8nQ3ATA#14/37.8699/-122.2603
But global, and with all the tags for each node shown when the node is
clicked on.


Or this global drinking water map:
https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?q=select+col3+from+1usHO73s_NDGKOx-2jbj0xtSHuHjxvWVo_2MvX_o&viz=MAP&h=false&lat=41.571877511144756&lng=-83.65702047624372&t=1&z=4&l=col3&y=2&tmplt=2&hml=GEOCODABLE

But it feels wrong to use Google maps as the backdrop for OSM data, despite
the advantages (the map above has 35,000 nodes many with photos, and yet it
is snappy fast on any browser).

What's a better way to do this?

Note: The mapbox map started with an overpass API query.

The fusion table example was an extract from the planet file, merged into a
fusion table.  Google's servers create and cache bitmaps with the POI's.
User clicks look up the matching data.  Thus it renders as fast as a slippy
map, but has all the POI's readily available.
