Openstreetmap embedding map in webpage like Google Maps

Question

Is there a way to embed mashup the OpenStreetMap in your page  like the way Google Maps API works    I need to show a map inside my page with some markers and allow dragging zooming around  maybe routing  I suspect there would be some Javascript API for this  but I can t seem to find it   Searching gets me an API for access to raw map data  but that seems to be more for map editing  besides  working with that would be a heavy task for AJAX

I would also take a look at CloudMade s developer tools   They offer a beautifully styled OSM base map service  an OpenLayers plugin  and even their own light-weight  very fast JavaScript mapping client   They also host their own routing service  which you mentioned as a possible requirement   They have great documentation and examples

You can use OpenLayers  js API for maps    There s an example on their page showing how to embed OSM tiles   Edit  New Link to OpenLayers examples

There s now also Leaflet  which is built with mobile devices in mind    There is a Quick Start Guide for leaflet  Besides basic features such as markers  with plugins it also supports routing using an external service   For a simple map  it is IMHO easier and faster to set up than OpenLayers  yet fully configurable and tweakable for more complex uses

Take a look at mapstraction   This can give you more flexibility to provide maps based on google  osm  yahoo  etc however your code won t have to change

If you just want to embed an OSM map on a webpage  the easiest way is to get the iframe code directly from the OSM website    Navigate to the map you want on https   www openstreetmap org On the right side  click the  Share  icon  then click  HTML  Copy the resulting iframe code directly into your webpage  It should look like this     x000D   x000D   lt iframe width  425  height  350  frameborder  0  scrolling  no  marginheight  0  marginwidth  0   x000D  src  https   www openstreetmap org export embed html bbox -62 04673002474011 2C16 95487694424327 2C-61 60521696321666 2C17 196751341562923 amp amp layer mapnik   x000D  style  border  1px solid black  gt  lt  iframe gt  x000D   lt br  gt  lt small gt  lt a href  https   www openstreetmap org  map 12 17 0759 -61 8260  gt View Larger Map lt  a gt  lt  small gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    If you want to do something more elaborate  see OSM wiki  Deploying your own Slippy Map

You need to use some JavaScript stuff to show your map  OpenLayers is the number one choice for this   There is an example at http   wiki openstreetmap org wiki OpenLayers Simple Example and something more advanced at  http   wiki openstreetmap org wiki OpenLayers Marker  and  http   wiki openstreetmap org wiki Openlayers POI layer example

There is simple way to do it if you fear Javascript   I m still learning  Open Street makes a simple Wordpress plugin you can customize  Add OSM Widget plugin   This will be a filler until I figure out my Python Java concotion using coverter TIGER line files from the Census Bureau
