New OSM based Map Website.

We use open data from OSM.org , a platform with over a million volunteers world wide, updating the map, roads, locations etc in their area. This includes any shops.

Hopefully it keeps alive and does not die (like similar Qwant Maps)

Sure, I appreciate that it's more complicated due to there not being a connected road graph in the same way as there is for other modes of transport. But at the very least showing the main transit arteries (metro & light rail) prominently would already go a long way, if nothing else than to help identify places by their nearest transit stop.

There is also a Transit layer on osmapp :)
