Hi, I have about 160k WW geo-coordinates and I need some additional information for each lat/lon. I Thanks in advance, Vic asked 18 Sep '15, 00:48  Gaploid edited 18 Sep '15, 06:14  aseerel4c26 ♦ |
One Answer:
"need some additional information for each lat/lon" is called reverse geocoding if you mean to get an address/description of the location. Is there a reason for you to use Overpass? Maybe there are faster options. If you really only need reverse geocoding, bulk-geo-coding-of-business-addresses . See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API#Introduction for info about the public servers and their capacity/usage policy. If you want a local instance of Overpass you can get it here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API#Developers_.2F_System_Administrators answered 18 Sep '15, 06:20 aseerel4c26 ♦ Thanks for the answer, I need to find distance to different POIs around each lat/lon therefore I don`t need geocoding. Maybe there is a tool like osmosis to make overpass queries locally or the best way to import planet.osm to POSTGIS and make queries there? (18 Sep '15, 11:43) Gaploid 3 To run Overpass queries locally, you really need to install Overpass API locally. See the installation instructions for details. Loading a full planet may take quite a bit more than 24 hours (depends on your HW), maybe check out the 'clone' feature. Once you have the DB available, you can run (18 Sep '15, 15:47) mmd |
