The new etymology category (in the "Culture" section) informs about map features which have been named after someone or something. If a "name:etymology:wikidata" Tag is found, it will link to Wikidata.
There are some new functions for category developers:
map
object called boundaries
which holds the list of boundaries at the map center.map
object called driving_side
which is either "left" or "right" with regards to the map center.There's a new feature for custom categories and categories of other repositories: You can "pin" or "bookmark" them, so that they get loaded for every visit of OpenStreetBrowser. It is saved in your session, which is long-lived. If you want to backup (or duplicate) your list of pinned categories, you can use the new "YAML" feature of Options.
The Walking Amenities category (under Transport -> Walking) now includes more items.
Also, there's a new Walking Amenities category in the "Quality Control" section, which highlights map features with missing details.
Unfortunately I had to remove OSM CycleMap and Transport Map from the list of available basemaps, as the tile limit of the provider Thunderforest was exceeded. I don't want to change to a paid plan, as I do not earn money from OpenStreetBrowser.
