<p><strong><a href="http://www.maposmatic.org/">MapOSMatic</a></strong></p> Clever service built on top of OpenStreetMap, which renders double sided city maps with a map and grid on one size and an A-Z street name index on the other. Runs on top of Mapnik, PostGIS and Cairo, with a few thousand additional lines of Python and Django. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/cairo">cairo</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/mapping">mapping</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/openstreetmap">openstreetmap</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/postgis">postgis</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/postgresql">postgresql</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/recovered">recovered</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/maposmatic">maposmatic</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/mapsdata/">Google Maps Data API</a></strong></p> I’m disappointed by this one—it’s really just a CRUD store for the KML files used in Google MyMaps. It would be a lot more useful if it let you perform geospatial calculations against your stored map data using some kind of query API—a cloud service alternative to tools like PostGIS. <p><small></small>Via <a href="http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2009/05/introducing-google-maps-data-api-in.html">Google Geo Developers Blog</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/apis">apis</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/gdata">gdata</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/geospatial">geospatial</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/google-maps">google-maps</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/google-maps-api">google-maps-api</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/googlemapsdataapi">googlemapsdataapi</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/kml">kml</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/postgis">postgis</a></p>
