It's inspired by the plain but informative search at OpenStreetMap. In the top-center of your map, enter your query to search our database of people, groups, and deployments. At the same time, you'll also be searching Google Maps and social bookmarks at olpcMAP.net The map will send you to the top result, and list other possible matches on the left. Quick Walkthrough: * Search for a person: Holt -> map centers on Adam Holt's marker * Search for a group: Waveplace -> map shows their schools from Cambridge to the Caribbean - individual points appear in search * Search for a place: Boston -> sends you to Boston on Google Maps, lists several people * Google Maps helps : various spellings and phrasings for a place (such as Ayiti) are caught by Google Maps so you'll see the place you meant Hope to see many of you tomorrow!
