Hi everyone, I am just wondering if there is a way to use OSM for creating a radius search feature on a web-based app. The idea would be to input a City and a State and a predetermined "radius" value (measured in miles) to pop up results (basically rows) containing Cities and States within the radius of the initial City and State defined initially. So if I put in Los Angeles, CA; and a radius of 100miles, I would like for the app to look up cities within that area. Thanks! asked 14 Sep '12, 18:18  Sergiu |
One Answer:
If I am not wrong this feature is at the OverpassAPI Do a search there for the parameter "around" to get results limited by a radius. But before, get familiar how to use OverpassApi at all, it seems not to be an easy toy for fresh OSM beginners :-) answered 15 Sep '12, 14:53  stephan75 |
