Hi, I´m wondering if there´s a solution to show all my contacts on a map, at the same time. It´s for planning trips and see who´s where. Data would come from outlook or ERP-System (or Excel as a bridge). Is there any solution? Thank you for your help! :-) Michael asked 26 Apr '13, 08:15  MichaelBL |

It seems that they use map tile graphics from Google, but the routing is processed with OSM data and the routing engine "Gosmore" answered 26 Apr '13, 13:51  stephan75 What I miss is the inforamtion about contact (name) on the map, I just see an address. Or do I misunderstand that tool? (02 May '13, 09:09) MichaelBL 1 I recommend to ask the guys from RouteXL directly. They are a third party company, and not realted to the OSM project directly. They just use the data from OSM. (02 May '13, 14:40) stephan75 RouteXL concentrates on routing of lot of destinations. My desire is for a static view of my contacts on a map, in best case with name (of company) next to a kind of pin. I´d like to see where my suppliers are like I did in the past with a wall map (with real pins). Does anyone have an idea??? (13 May '13, 08:04) MichaelBL |
I don't know of any ready-to-use solution but you can create your own. First you need to determine the location for every address you have. This can be done using Nominatim and querying each of your address with the help of a little script. But keep in mind Nominatim's usage policy when doing bulk geocoding. After having obtained all locations you can show them on a map with the help of either Leaflet or OpenLayers. Examples on how to show markers are available for both libraries. All these tools are freely available and not very difficult to use but you have to do some little reading of course. answered 13 May '13, 09:08  scai ♦ edited 13 May '13, 20:06 |
Do you already have coordinates for your contacts, or just addresses?
just addresses.
