Hi, support team. Please help me to download only the rivers in a specific region. Or which any type I want. I tried to download with overpass: link text

geofabrik: link text

and QuantumGIS, but all of them doesn't have accurate database for rives.

Just a quick comment: there is no support team. Answers here are provided by other OSM users and mappers.

This Overpass query on the Overpass Turbo website gets you all things that are tagged with waterway. You can either position the map above the area you want and run the query, or add an area/bounding box yourself.

Overpass Turbo allows you to download the data in a variety of formats.

Hi, bro. Could you teach me how download another kinds of map object. Ex: I see in road category, there are many kind of road: motor road, trunk road, primary road... and I want to download a specific kind of road, example just trunk road. I read these documents but I didn't understand very much.

Overpass_turbo/Wizard

Search function

I searched with "highway" keyword, but it also results many small streets.

Thankyou.

the easiest way is to use the Overpass wizard. On the other hand you need to know how something is tagged. The latter you can learn from looking at the data, using taginfo or the wiki, especially http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features and linked pages. So for trunks, type in highway=trunk in the wizard dialog. This will generate the query for you. When you want to export it, the tool will say that it modified the query for that purpose and you have to run the query again. Hope this helps, but feel free to ask another question. It might be best to start another query here.

instead of asking new (unrelated/different) questions under the same top question, so others might chime in as well.

good luck

Hi, thank you so much Bro. The link you shown me is exactly what I need. Now I could download any type I need. But the data in my country isn't accurate very much. I need to edit some thing. Have nice day, bro. :D
