That last URL should be http://openmarkers.com/en/why_openmarkers.html

In my tests I found zero places even in wide areas (gas stations: all USA: 0 results), so something seems broken.

This also is missing all Places functionality or I can’t find it: navigation, search by keyword + proximity. Calling it an alternative to Places is misleading.

In this context I’d also like to see support for existing open data services such as OpenStreetMap, Identi.ca etc. instead of the closed ones.

Thanks by the link error reported.

openMarkers is an open and collaborative application that has just begun, so that the points are expected to be added with the help of the community

with the theme of OSM, you’re right but due to the good documentation and APIs we are started with Google Maps, but it is thought that the user is the you can choose the engine and of course to be more consistent with all licenses used, OSM should be the motor.

On the other hand I’m just the Android application developer (unofficial). For more information, please apply at http://openmarkers.com/all_html/contact.html

Thank you very much for your interest. I am available for any other point or suggestion about Android application
