Hi,

I want to extract a route with the Overpass API which works great. But I have some problemns getting the order of the nodes inside the relation right.

Check this relation: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/hao

It looks good on the map. But when you look at the data tab and you scroll a little down you see the coordinates jump from

  • 13.8223610, 100.5474506
  • To
  • 15.1323097, 100.4504222

which is in the middle of the route. At the bottom there are the parts which are in between. (14.xxx)

So when I extract the route, process all the coordinates in the order the api returns them and convert it to a Google Polyline path, the route is messed up.

Paste this path into Google maps example (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/utilities/polylineutility and click decode polyline)

How do I get overpass to give the nodes inside the relation in the correct order??

Your conversion routine does not seem to work correctly. Ways in relations don't need to follow the exact sequence of a route. As Overpass API delivers the data in the exact same sequence as they are in the main OSM database, it's your responsibility to bring them in the right sequence in a post-processing step.

As additional hint, please see this answer by scai: link

Furthermore, you might want to check the result of (relation(1820650);>;);out meta; to get all node ids as well. out geom; only provides lat/lon values of nodes, but omits all node ids.
