If I understand you correctly, you want to create a map where you can hover over items and display some user-defined information for the item in question. This is not strictly an OpenStreetMap related question, since any base map could be used for this! If you want to do this in a web browser, you'll likely end up using the OpenLayers or Leaflet library, and store your data in something like a KML file. Use your favourite search engine to look for "OpenLayers" or "Leaflet" together with a term like "popup markers" and you'll find some examples. answered 16 Sep '13, 18:40 Frederik Ramm ♦ |
