OpenStreetMap
I started to write a program which shows an OSM map and let the user choose which POI icons he wants to see and how big they shall be:

At the moment, only 4 icons are available. And the map works with Firefox, but refuses to work with IE or Konqueror. I hope I will have soon time to debug this issue.

Hey, another great improvement! Stills needs a lot of work until it is really useful, but this is definitely the way to go.
If I press the "back to menu" button, the POI logic stops to work, e.g. if I move the map, the symbols are not reloaded. I think the logic should continue to work, no matter if the user currently looks at the selection menu.
I guess it would be rather easy to display more information (e.g. the name and maybe other tags) in a tooltip if the user hovers over an icon. This would be a real advantage over the classical POI display inside the tiles.
Or maybe you display the icons in small scale (8 pixel) without text, and let them grow when the mouse cursor gets near them.

Sounds like an excellent start - will have a look at home where I have firefox. I think this kind of thing will produce some of the most useful OSM output.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Nice ideas, Brian!
BTW, the bug if found, I forgot one simple ">". I will update the program in some hours.

@Brian: I am sorry, I implemented the tooltip item, but it works only in the IE, not with Firefox. Mouseover events don't work at all. I suppose, the map swallows all mouse events for zooming and panning.

My map is now "image of the week". Great! The new address is
