Hey I am a big fan of osm and decided I should contribute and looked around my area to see if something is missing. And indeed a small gravel soccer pitch which is completely open to the public is missing.

I decided to add this area with the iD editor but realised that the satellite imagery wasn't enough because the edges are partially obstructed by trees.

Of course I could just wing it and place the rectangle where I think it should go and it would be infinitely better than having this soccer pitch not mapped at all but my inner IT nerd doesn't want this.

Should I just go over there and note down GPS coordinates of the 4 corners and enter them into the editor when im back home? Or what is the common practice here?

I have just been introduced to this awesome community, but I am having a hard time printing a Tokyo map in english. I have already used MyOSMatic and inkatlas.

hi there, we need to find out all the auberges like gide-des etappes (gites de France in Alsace) how to find out these?

Hello everyone, I discovered openstreet map as part of my internship. (it's not at all in my field of expertise, but I'm off to learn).

My mission is to map the concert halls in my region. To do this, I'm working from an Excel database. I've already imported it into my map and want to add informative data to my Layer via the table (Manage Layers tab).

However, I can't copy my Excel column to the OSM spreadsheet. All the data is pasted into the same cell instead of being displayed on the line in the form of columns.

Is it better to re-import my Excel file (with the new columns) or is there a way of copying a Excel column into the OSM tables?

I don’t know if my message is very clear. Thank you in advance for your clarifications.

Ps : if you have any tutorial on how to use OSM, I’d love to hear from you !

I want to tag several missing natural features within towns, but I am unsure how to tag them. For example, these places:

​

https://maps.app.goo.gl/8YW8A9qfvZ1SRBXx5

​

https://maps.app.goo.gl/E2Mq3mUdVHfARDGG9

​

According to the OSM wiki, these could be labelled as grassland, but some of these areas are covered with some trees as well, so I am uncertain if this would be the correct choice. I would like to hear some opinions.

Like states in the US, provinces in Canada, etc. I don't want the geodata, just the names. It seems like OverPass is the best solution?

Hi,

I am soon driving across Angola with a car and am looking for free maps for my Garmin GPS. Which maps for this African country for car driving would you recommend?

Thanks

I’m going to play around with converting a largish Geojson file to OSM XML. I was wondering, before I write my own, does anyone have or know of any nice scripts to either rename tags or extract each feature into its own file?

I am not involved with the editing of OSM, but I do work with a mapping project that uses OSM as one of its base maps. While browsing around the map today, I noticed that virtually all of Lake Martin (a sizable lake in eastern Alabama) has been removed from the map. I was just curious if anyone could shed some light as to why that is. Thank you!

OSM vs. Satellite Imagery

Hi,

Not really sure if this is the most appropriate place to ask but if it's not, please redirect me.

I have an idea and I'm searching a solution for it. You see, I am playing a game that has a huge map. I would like to create something like dynmap for Minecraft or the web interface of ECO game. I am looking for something that I could maybe host at home (I have a Linux server) and that my teammates could fill in. So I am wondering if I can host an open street map instance and fill it with my own data (which would be screenshots of a top down view from in-game).

Is that a thing or am I completely mistaken ?

Could someone help me modify this Overpass Turbo query (https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1JtS)?

{{geocodeArea:Chicago,IL}}->.searchArea;
(
way["name"~"Cicero Avenue"](area.searchArea);
relation["name"~"Cicero Avenue"](area.searchArea);
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

What do I need to add so that it can highlight "Cicero Avenue" as well as another street like "Harlem Avenue?" Thanks for the help.

G’day, I just wanted to know if anyone has a method for pulling data from OSM and create a route from that data??

I can find all the stop lights (traffic lights) in my area using the search within OSM. What I want to do is get that list it produces as search results and create a route i then follow to do an audit of every stop light in my area.

Is there a way to do this? I have asked the local authorities but am not holding much hope

I’m interested in transferring the border of a wildlife management area into OSM: https://kygeonet.ky.gov/kdfwr/?config=config_zoom.json&esearch=Dr.%20James%20R.%20Rich%20WMA&slayer=0&exprnum=0

I’ve never used JOSM. Does it have a plug-in to pull data from an ESRI map like this, or is there some other way get the data. I plan of reviewing the OSM Importing guidance before I actually do anything, but that document doesn’t cover methods to get the raw starting data.

Hello all,

I'm guessing mobile apps have been discussed to death in here however this one is a bit more specific.

I'm a delivery driver and like most delivery drivers I'm often in a rush! Nonetheless I'd like to contribute where possible as I often have to deliver to quite remote, rural places that aren't already marked on the app.

Just wondering if there are any android editing apps out there for some very quick marking of new addresses?

I understand StreetComplete is pretty good for some quick stuff however I haven't seen it actually allow you to mark new places but rather make some small adjustments to existing ones. I've also had a look at Vespucci however I just don't have the time to put them in on here mid run as it just takes too long.

Happy to have any suggestions, keen to add where I can.

can we export the results of a request to geojson - and put the data into a widget on WordPress

​

[out:json][timeout:250];
{{geocodeArea:Deutschland}}->.searchArea;
nwr[amenity=school][!"isced:level"](area.searchArea);
out geom;

​

or this

​

[out:json][timeout:250];
{{geocodeArea:Bayern}}->.searchArea;
nwr[amenity=school][!"isced:level"](area.searchArea);
out geom;

​

or this

[out:json][timeout:250];
{{geocodeArea:München}}->.searchArea;
nwr[amenity=school][!"isced:level"](area.searchArea);
out geom;

Look forward to hear from you

As the title says, I need pico.css in my html code. How can I customise my map imported with leaflet and using pico.css in my code? Is there any full and accurate documentation? Thanks in advance

Hello,

I am looking for a tool or online map to plan my vacation in South Korea: a map where I can set and export my own POIs and then import them into organic maps on Android.
Free and if possible without registration.
I have already found one or two tools, but the cities and streets were not in English.

I see that a barbershop has it's old name in the map shown on Moovit, a public transportation app. As moovit uses openstreet and open map tiles, I wanna understand how to update the name on Moovit (on openstreet the name has already been updated a long ago). Well, if the stablishment has no the current name, people won't be able to find it in the bus application!
The link to the stablishment is: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9120859906 and the Moovit link (with old name) is:https://moovitapp.com/porto_alegre-964/poi/Barbearia%20Da%20Tribo%20Rs/f/pt-br?timeType=arrive&time=1712080800000&routeTypes=bus&fll=-29.937608_-51.099538 . May someone check for me the problem?
thank you for the attention, I hope my post isn't violating any posting rule.

Hi all,

I'm trying to write an Overpass Turbo query to locate empty building plots in residential areas of certain towns in Hungary. Looking for result something like this:

Plots without buildings (I've manually marked the empty ones, which I would like to find with Overpass)

I'm completely new to Overpass Turbo and after spending some hours looking at youtube videos, the Overpass Turbo Wiki, trying to generate stuff with ChatGPT, and trying stuff out on Overpass, I came to realize that I will need help.

My first question would be: Do you think it's possible to obtain the data from Overpass that I'm looking for? Is it possible in the Hungarian map as well? F.e. I see that within the town I took the above screenshot, at some parts the buildings are shown, but not the plot borders.

Does Overpass have data on which part of a town is residential area and which one isn't?

Final question (for now ^^): how do I find someone who could write such query for me? I would obviously be paying for it.

Thanks in advance!

I have an app that lets me save location coordinates.

Say I wanted to take a walk around my neighborhood and plot all the fire hydrants in the app, then upload them to OSM editor... how might I do that?

Workflow

1. Neighborhood walk, plot locations in my app
2. Get home, export the list of coordinates to my computer
3. Upload the coordinates to a tool
4. Set the POI type, edit the meta data
5. Save to OSM

Does JOSM or another desktop program have a function for this, I can't seem to to find it in the OSM editor.

want to create a leaflet - that shows the data of German schools

background: I have just started to use Python and I would like to make a query to Overpass and store the results in a geospatial format (e.g. GeoJSON). As far as I know, there is a library called overpy that should be what I am looking for. After reading its documentation I came up with the following code:

​

import overpy
import json

API = overpy.Overpass()

# Fetch schools in Germany
result = API.query("""
[out:json][timeout:250];
{{geocodeArea:Deutschland}}->.searchArea;
nwr[amenity=school][!"isced:level"](area.searchArea);
out geom;
""")

# Create a GeoJSON dictionary to store the features
geojson = {
    "type": "FeatureCollection",
    "features": []
}

# Iterate over the result and extract relevant information
for node in result.nodes:
    # Extract coordinates
    lon = float(node.lon)
    lat = float(node.lat)

    # Create a GeoJSON feature for each node
    feature = {
        "type": "Feature",
        "geometry": {
            "type": "Point",
            "coordinates": [lon, lat]
        },
        "properties": {
            "name": node.tags.get("name", "Unnamed School"),
            "amenity": node.tags.get("amenity", "school")
            # Add more properties as needed
        }
    }

    # Append the feature to the feature list
    geojson["features"].append(feature)

# Write the GeoJSON to a file
with open("schools.geojson", "w") as f:
    json.dump(geojson, f)

print("GeoJSON file created successfully!")

so see my results i get back on google-colab:

verpassBadRequest                        Traceback (most recent call last)  <ipython-input-3-f0918b7fb5d0> in <cell line: 7>()       5 6 # Fetch schools in Germany ----> 7 result = API.query("""       8 [out:json][timeout:250];       9 {{geocodeArea:Deutschland}}->.searchArea;  /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/overpy/__init__.py in query(self, query)     173                 )     174                 if not do_retry: --> 175                     raise current_exception     176                 retry_exceptions.append(current_exception)     177                 continue  OverpassBadRequest: Error: line 3: parse error: Unknown type &quot;{&quot;  Error: line 3: parse error: An empty query is not allowed  Error: line 3: parse error: ';' expected - '{' found.

Need a leaflet map that consist of data from school in Germany. How to do that. Possibly with overpass turbo request. How to do that. Btw I am wanting to put this to a WordPress into a WordPress widget.

How to do that?

When you a map longer, possibly international hiking, pilgrimage etc. route, there may be variant sections of this route that for example bypass certain areas where the main route goes, but then rejoin the main route at some point. Usually these variant routes are officially parts of the main route and often also documented as such.

How do you map these variant sections?
