Dmytro Ovdiienko, thanks for the effort but software catalog should be web based (without any installation or platform dependency) and in multiple languages (otherwise it have a little over what we had). Filtering is a nice feature but it isn’t crucial compared to simple translated tables X/Y: software/feature(s).

27

Translated tables allow you to “filter” by one feature only. Try to find freeware Navigator application which can calculate route offline and support vector maps.

I was able to find decent table for first query part, but of of course, Wikipedians are not pedantic about vector tiles (there simply no info to filter):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_off-line_GPS_software

boolean columns (such as featureX present / absent) are easy to sort using html widgets.

“Operating system” would be indeed interesting filtering criteria - but again, you can display multiple static tables instead of database + filtering interface.

Simple reports with sane defaults are easier to use than db+filtering interface. There too many steps in filtering for our use case. You don’t want send link to a user, then ask him to enter right filters, then discuss what you see together. It should be done using single link and no actions from other party.

If you need to filter by Operating System (Android, iPhone) use following pages:

Is it possible to put link to “OSM Software Catalog” to some root Wiki page?
BTW, I did not find root page for all OSM based software…

31

How about https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software – the pages with the software tables are linked there, among others.

32

Thanks, Tordanik!

I believe it is good idea to add link to Software page to the menu on left side of Wiki page (below the The Map link). Variety of available programs is what differentiates OSM.

Can anybody convert standalone WinForms .NET application to Web application?
