plepe / OpenStreetBrowser

An application to ‘browse’ the information in the displayed part of the map. Similar to common Wikis and also the main page of http://www.openstreetmap.org the website shows a narrow menu on the left side, most of the page is used for the display of the map. In contrast to most Wikis the menu is not static, but rather the content of the map can be browsed in categories. For the map a special style has been developed (sorry guys, I neither like the default Mapnik nor Osmarender styles), and special overlays are displayed to support the current browsed categories. When you click on an object (either from the list or directly on the map) informations on this object are displayed.

Feature request: filter map elements #33

Depending in the zoom level, some of the categories may still display too many objects on the map, resulting in a cluttered view that could obscure the actual information one is looking for. Here's an example:

To overcome this issue, it would be quite useful if the user could enter a string to filter the results (by name and/or by object type).
