I was wondering if there was a way to download shapefile data for specific feature types. For example selecting all amenity = restaurant within a certain area and downloading the data as a shapefile. Thanks. asked 01 May '17, 12:59  mikaelamosch... |
One Answer:
I don't know of anything that will directly export a filtered shapefile. Overpass Turbo has a wizard to help with simple searches and can export geoJSON (which hopefully you can at least convert to a shapefile). For your example, adjust the map to the area of interest, click "Wizard", input "amenity=restaurant" and click "build and run query", then click "Export" and select geoJSON. answered 01 May '17, 15:19  maxerickson |
QGIS or ogr2ogr can convert from GeoJSON to shape.
