[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers and OpenMarkers

[Matt Priour]

By using WebKit DeveloperTools, Firebug, or the Internet Explorer 
equivalent, you can find all kinds of information about where and how a 
site gets the data that is displayed on a map.

openmarkers gets it's POIs from the [1] Nominatim OSM api

[1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim

Then it does another request to an openmarkers URL with the ids of the 
points that were returned by the Nominatim search to get the ratings 
that people have given it.

You can get and display the data yourself using a vector layer with 
either a script tag or HTTP protocol, the exact details of how to do 
that are left up to you. Look at the OpenLayers ScriptTag example for 
further inspiration.
