OpenStreetBrowser v4.3: Feature update

Posted by skunk on 20 December 2018 in English.
  1. Custom repo: It’s possible to create custom categories for some time now, now you can load an alternative repository as base categories. E.g.: The categories of user mr. satterly. In the repository selector, there’s a link “Use this repository as base repository”.
  2. Collapsed lists: The lists of map features (of a category) are now truncated, and there’s a link “Show more results” which will show you the rest.
  3. Permalink: As requested, there’s now a “Permalink” in the menu at the bottom.

There’s a new category “Swimming and Bathing” (under “Leisure, Sport and Shopping”) in OpenStreetBrowser.
