I’m traveling at the moment so i often find myself pulling my laptop out on the train where internet is patchy.
So I’ve found myself setting up more stuff to work locally.
Thats how I found myself trying to compile and run a local copy of the Overpass API for querying open street map data… on a Mac. I’m typing this on my phone from memory so will provide references and corrections later when back at my laptop. #OSM #overpass #overpassturbo #overpassapi #openstreetmap
Is it just me or is #OverpassTurbo timing out on every query? Whatever I do I always get a "server too busy" error. 😟

Crazy idea of the day:
could I use the Overpass API to find all possible weekend hiking trips in the alps?

I want to get tuples of tourism=alpine_hut which are not more than 7h walking distance from each other and can be either reached within 4,5h from a common parkinglot or have a bus stop within 4,5h walking distance.

From what I understand, even path distance sadly isn't trival in Overpass and generating such a query for a reasonable part of the alps probably means I need would need to set up my own OSM server with Overpass-API, right?

It really would be nice to not having to scan maps manually but actually being able to automate the process and get an automatic list of suggestions!

#TIL about this awesome interactive tool to explore toponyms in #GreatBritain called Grep Britain. 🇬🇧

(And for anything more complex and worldwide, there’s #OverpassAPI via #OverpassTurbo or #OverpassUltra using #OpenStreetMap data.)

Is there a way to visualise the space taken by street parking with Overpass API?

Ich habe das Wochenende genutzt, um meine erstes package fertig zu schreiben:
Einen wrapper um die #Overpass API in #Julia.

@kaat0 macht dan­kens­wer­ter­wei­se noch ein Review und dann wird es hoffentlich bald gepublished.

Last weekend at #Puducherry, 5 of us from #FSHMPY walked around the #HeritageTown area and mapped the #streetlamps in #openstreetmap

The first image is before mapping and the 2nd image is after mapping. The screenshots are from the web page that I built over 2 days which queries street lights from #osm through #OverpassApi and renders it in the map taking the operational status into account.

The #StreetLight map can be explored here https://fsftn.gitlab.io/streetlight-map/#16/11.9338/79.8340

I can't remember if I've shared this on here before but I made a tool that creates Animal Crossing style maps of real places using Overpass and @openstreetmap https://slowe.github.io/crossingify/ (You could choose any location by adding e.g. "?lat=53.8&lon=-1.55&name=Leeds" to the URL)
