[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Survey re: OpenStreetmap

[Noli Sicad]

Fran,

Use Openlayers and Leaflet API to OSM Tile Maps, if you are interested
to integrate OSM data in apps assuming that you are looking for a
counter part of Google Map API using Javascript framework for web
mapping application.

Re: creating your own Tile Maps for the server, if you want to compete
with Apple, Google, Cloudmade, etc., you can use Mapbox TileMill.

Foursquare just use the service of Mapbox to create maps and service
for their needs.
