Big THANK YOU

Today, on behalf of Nestoria Australia, I'd like to say a special thank you to all the people who gave their time to create Open Street Map Australia.  We appreciate this level of commitment to building better maps on a daily basis, but we're saying a special thank you today because today we activated the OSM option on Nestoria.com.au.  So now, as well as checking out where the properties you're searching for are on our standard map, you can also locate it, and it's surrounds, on our custom made Cloudmade OSM maps. (Cloudmade allows you to create your own designs for OSM maps and integrate them on your website via their API.).

Here's what the OSM version looks like:

...love those big orange highways...  Vs. the standard map view:

I've used Brisbane as an example because that's the home town of OSM Australia's David Dean who the Nestoria Australia blog has already befriended.

But to make full use of this function you can either add the word openstreemap to the front of any nestoria.com.au address, eg.:
http://openstreetmap.nestoria.com.au/brisbane/real-estate-property/sale
vs.
http://www.nestoria.com.au/brisbane/real-estate-property/sale

Or you can use the drop down menu:

So - thanks for all the time you took walking/ biking or driving around making geo notes.  A big YAY for community sourced data!
