Hello,

newbie here. I am looking to embed an osm map instead of google maps API on a web page. please look at https://bizworld.org/#international and scroll down to their google map. I am looking to do the same with my webpage so I have the header and footer and a small amount of text in the middle and then the map so I then have the ability to add pointers that load with the name of a company and then a web URL highlighted so visitors can click on and then be taken to the URL link.

am I able to do this so it looks similar to the above example?

ideally, i am looking for a basic world map and to be able to turn off layers ( don't think i can do that though ?) and to make sure visitors cannot edit the map on my page ie add pointers etc ( don't think they can do that though?).

can anyone help with these questions?

thank you in advance.

The OpenStreetMap Data is free, but the foundation that runs the servers is small and not able to offer free hosting. For a deployed website you will either need to host the server side software yourself or use a company that does this as a service.

Self hosted would allow you to completely customise the look to your preference, but will require the most technical know-how. Some of the hosted services also allow a degree of customisation, especially if they are providing vector tiles.

Some information on getting started can be found at Switch2OSM.
