As backers of open source software and the geohacker community, we were happy to help when some members of the OpenStreetMap team approached us about being part of this demo. Volunteer mapping is in it’s infancy, but holds the promise of more up to date data and could be a great tool to cost effectively map parts of the developing world. Nevertheless, this is an experiment, we have no plans to switch away from the high quality maps and satellite photos provided by Google Maps. [...] [...] For Nestoria this is an interesting chance to be part of an innovative proof of concept.

We have already started integrating the Mapstraction API into Nestoria. In the near future, this work will allow our users to choose from the most up to date features of all the mapping providers. As we do the integration we are moving some of our code into the Mapstraction library so that others can benefit from it too.

Not really what I’d usually mention on this blog but they’ve sponsored the initial work on mapstraction, which makes them very cool! You too should think this is cool because work like this allows more development of openstreetmap. I’ll let them explain why it’s a good idea: [...] [...] Nestoria is a sweet UK-based tool for finding property.

Hopefully, nestoria will soon be reciprocating with GeoRSS enabled feeds. They are already wise to benefit of engaging with the open source community. Mapstraction, the abstract interface to all the big mapping APIs we’ve been developing, has received its initial support from nestoria.
