I'm trying to get a residential road using the reversegeocoding with nominatim. This is what I have constructed but the road returned is not residential, instead it's classified as "highway:track" how can I get the closest residential road when given gps coordinates? asked 03 Aug '18, 14:27  Dave4784 |
One Answer:
Nominatim can't do it. It understands a couple of special phrases https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Special_Phrases for points-of-interest type searches, but not road types. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API might work for your use case. answered 06 Aug '18, 11:24  mtmail |
