There's a new feature for custom categories and categories of other repositories: You can "pin" or "bookmark" them, so that they get loaded for every visit of OpenStreetBrowser. It is saved in your session, which is long-lived. If you want to backup (or duplicate) your list of pinned categories, you can use the new "YAML" feature of Options.

The Walking Amenities category (under Transport -> Walking) now includes more items.

Also, there's a new Walking Amenities category in the "Quality Control" section, which highlights map features with missing details.

Unfortunately I had to remove OSM CycleMap and Transport Map from the list of available basemaps, as the tile limit of the provider Thunderforest was exceeded. I don't want to change to a paid plan, as I do not earn money from OpenStreetBrowser.

Recently, there have been a few small updates to OpenStreetBrowser:

This new category shows kerbs (the edge where a road meets a sidewalk). Read more about this in the OpenStreetMap Wiki. The category uses the colours from the Wiki page. Popups will show additional information: type of kerb (lowered, raised, ...), they wheelchair accessibility (if set), if the kerb has tactile paving and the height.
