OpenStreetMap overlay example | 2020-05-19 | An example of how to query things visually on OpenStreetMap |
|
The problem
OpenStreetMap is a great resource and there is a lot more information stored there than you can easily see.
The solution
Go to http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and enter a filter script similar to the following :
<osm-script>
<query type="node">
<has-kv k="amenity" v="recycling"/>
<bbox-query {{bbox}}/>
</query>
<!-- print results -->
<print mode="body"/>
</osm-script>
This example will highlight the recycling points near a target location. From there you can build almost any filter you can think of!
