    Android openMarkers client (an open alternative to Google Places).

    Discover other users favorite sites for eating, sleeping, shopping … and according to your budget!

    A simple and clear, just with information and necessary sections. Without register to search and all thought for the essential clicks

    Users like you are what create the markers to their favorite sites and are what you see. Not interfere in the search results.

    Comment each marker and share on Twitter and Facebook your favorites.

    An ideal application when you travel and even in your own town.

    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
