Hi, I know that you can add several information to an information point (like for example opening hours or website of a restaurant) But how can I as a normal user find these information on OSM, if I want to know some more about a POI (restaurant or anything else)? I mean, in Google Maps you only click on the name of a POI and you get more information and links. How is it done in OSM? Thanks in advance, Nils. asked 15 Mar '15, 20:54 nils-son SimonPoole ♦ |
Let's imagine you've got something you want to look at, like here: www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/53.15148/-1.47073
That gets you to here, which in this case includes opening hours. answered 15 Mar '15, 21:14 SomeoneElse ♦ aseerel4c26 ♦ Thanks! I've been using the map for ages and never realised that this feature existed. There is always something new to learn in OSM.

@NZGraham: the "?" feature is existing since November 2014. Before that date (and still) you can use the "data layer" function of the openstreetmap.org page. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Browsing

There are also projects that try to implement this. For example,http://www.openlinkmap.org will make POIs that have extra information clickable, and for example show you wether a a place is open right now. answered 12 Apr '15, 03:36 joost schouppe |
