OpenStreetMap for the web

Description

This presentation introduces OpenStreetMap and explains to the audience what sort of rich data set it has. I will also cover different APIs for using the map tiles as well as other APIs that form sister-projects to OSM, such as Nominatim (search), routing, and obtaining current-location information. Some hints on storage and searching will also be given. During the course of the presentation I will also have to dip into some of the theoretical issues surrounding map making in general, and showing a PHP extension to help you calculate all kinds of geo-things.

Conférence donnée lors du Forum 2013, ayant eu lieu les 21 et 22 novembre 2013.

You are just awesome !

I expected it would be a little more technical rather than a presentation of the software. Interesting nonetheless, thanks for the talk.

This conf was the "good surprise" of the two days. I was very surprised by being so interested by OpenStreetMaps.
