Does OSM have an API where I can send GPS coordinates and recieve street data including Street names, speed limits etc? asked 29 Jan '15, 11:06  simon-caddick edited 29 Jan '15, 12:48  aseerel4c26 ♦ |
One Answer:
"coordinates and recieve street data including Street names" is called "Reverse Geocoding" (gives you a full hierarchical address up to the country name). See older "reveresegeocoding" questions and Nominatim. Getting other data around that place is a different category / an additional step. Maybe with Overpass API's "around" query (use Overpass turbo if you want to play with it). answered 29 Jan '15, 12:48 aseerel4c26 ♦ |
