Cool. There was a long discussion on the talk@ list in August (starting here) about importing OLC data into OSM (a bad idea) compared software support (like your site). There is a discussion about adding the search to the OSM.org search bar, like your site, but I don’t think it’s been merged in yet…
rorym, thank you for your comment and for the information. There are several similar systems. What I like about the OLC is that it is open-source and that it is accepted by the Google maps.
Certainly, the computer maps are in competition. But the main problem is that a lot people do not use any maps at all.
Having one global standard, for instance the OLC, for addressing physical objects on the ground could lead to a wider adoption of maps by individuals and businesses. It could be beneficial for all.
Many of us has been looking forward to something similar within OpenStreetMap. Other mobile apps (OsmAnd, Maps.Me) already supports OLC, and a website to utilize like so, is an awesome way forward.
