TomTom OpenLayers zoom effects I'll note that on neither of my browsers (Safari on Mac or Firefox on Mac) do I get any kind of animated zooming effect on that website; this kind of problem is the reason the animated zooming was never enabled. In addition, it regularly crashed some browsers. In the end, it was just too risky. That said, with newer webkit + moz transform code for pinching and zooming, there is sufficient support in OpenLayers to explore animated zooming behavior which is hardware accelerated in the browser without complex DOM manipulations, and I expect one of our developers may show an interest in that soon. |

Quality of free geodata compared to commercial sources You mean, "Why is OSM better in many places than Google Maps?" Because asking why Google Maps might be better, given the hundreds of millions of dollars invested by their data partners over the past, oh, say, 25 years (NAVTEQ at least), compared to a 5 year old volunteer project done with practically no funding, seems a bit disingenuous. |

How to get US Highway exit geocodes using Google maps API or through some other means? Note that using the Google geocoding API for bulk geocoding like this, and storing the data, may be a violation of the terms of service. In addition to the technical restriction (5000 geocodes a day), and social restriction on maps (can only be used on Google Maps, nothing else), I think there's also an additional social restriction that limits how long you can store geocodes for that you should probably look at. |

Trouble getting metacarta to work with qgis? That's not the URL for the WMS. It's vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0. Presumably he's past that though, because he is getting the capabilities, but maybe qgis handles that redirect, but won't handle a redirect for the tiles. |

What is this “brown spot” in Google maps? I agree this is almost certainly a processing artifact, and not a real thing. |

Data Source: Address ranges for every block in NYC In general, address data does not exist in OSM in large quantities, especially in the US, so I would be very surprised if this data exists in OSM in a way that would apply to a significant portion of New York. |

OpenStreetMap content in commercial applications 2.0 vs. 3.0 is minor legal clarifications. The core of the license remains the same. ("Unported" is because there are now legal-text variations suitable for many different countries; the 'unported' is their newest term for the 'generic' worldwide one.) |

OpenLayers with my own OSM data server The OSM coordinates are in meters, so you'll have to set the center in projected meters. See docs.openlayers.org/library/… . |

Can I collect Seismic data with an array of cell phones? In general, the accuracy of cell phone-based accelerometers are pretty low. If you have a specific device in mind, people might be able to tell you if the accelerometer is going to be able to do what you want; WP7 is on relatively few devices afaik, so I assume that you already have one in mind. |

is there any free software to create a mapserver that can be installed directly in a subdomain without a server install? MapServer is a single binary that can be put in place with no further 'installation' needed. However, the fact that you're asking about "PHP or JS" means to me that you're probably in a more limited hosting situation that doesn't allow you to use most software -- instead, you probably need PHP. You should probably either mention a host (so people can provide specific information) or, if PHP is all you're comfortable with, just limit the question to PHP rather than attempting to be more broad. |
