[OSGeo-Discuss] GeoData OpenAPI

[Sam Vekemans]

hi all,
I'm just wondering what is available, in terms of an Open API which
contains the worlds geodata?


Currenly, there is Koordinates.com (which is growing) and geocommons.com


There is CommonMap (which is the 'professional' equivelentent ccBY
alternative to OpenStreetMap) as a 2-way edit street



and the ODBL/ccBYsa OpenStreetMap API as a one-way editable map


Does anyone know of any other projects in the works? ... somewhere
where i can upload .shp files (from all sources) and have the data in
an API ready for extraction and use (for rendering, incorporating to
other maps, and building things like garmin gps maps).


Thanks in advance,
Sam Vekemans
