OpenStreetMap integration

Open frindsbury opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

When doing a Commonist upload I have three instances of OpenStreetMap open-

  • https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?from=51.54118%2C-0.14598#map=18/51.54118/-0.14358 which allows me to get a csv geotag from the map.
  • https://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osm-on-ol/commons-on-osm.php?zoom=17&lat=51.54121&lon=-0.14268&layers=B00TFT which allows me to see Commons roundels indicating existing images
  • https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/map-search?clearresults=True (down at the moment) which allows me to locate existing listed buildings- and their official listing description

When i get a location it is in comma separated variable form- I have never seen (semicolon separated variables before). Missing on all these systems is a means of setting the |heading= variable

Looking at the Vicuna options Bing- works but is Microsoft (I don't trust) OpenStreetMap- is dead or just not responding MapQuest- announces it has been discontinued. Directly c&p the coordinates requires you to replace the , with a ;.

Could we re-look at the options.
