  We still lack a very important tool for Wiki
Loves Monuments in
 September: A web based map to easily find monuments.  I hacked this together:

    http://wlmmap.herokuapp.com I like the interface a lot. The items should have a
bit more information 
like at least the identifier, that's the main use case.
...
  It's only ~5000 random entries from your database
(don't miss
 the ones in Antartica!) Nice :-)

  Does erfgoed's API reads a "country" and
a "with-picture" parameter?
 If so, is it okay to load data directly by querying the API? The database has the
following fields 
(https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database#Monuments_all):
* country
* lang
* id
* adm0
* adm1
* adm2
* adm3
* adm4
* name
* address
* municipality
* lat
* lon
* lat_int
* lon_int
* image
* commonscat
* source
* changed
* monument_article
* registrant_url
* monument_random

You can ask the api several things:
* sr<fieldname>=search a fieldname
* srwith<fieldname>=<boolean> to get only items where something is set
* srwithout<fieldname>=<boolean> to get only items where something is 
not set

You can get it in different formats etc, see 
http://toolserver.org/~erfgoed/api/api.php for a bit more info
...
  If so, I will add a form with a list of countries and
two checkboxes
 for "Monuments with Pictures" and "Monuments without picture".
+1
...
  I'll also center the map to the user's
location. That's nice!
