I'm developing an Android travel app for Dublin. I'm looking for an analogue of "Place Details" in Google Maps. I'm only at the planning stage, I can't provide code now. asked 16 Nov '18, 19:15 adgeuk aseerel4c26 ♦ |
If you have the OpenStreetMap node ID for a point of interest, the OSM API will give you all the details that OSM mappers have recorded for that node:
However, note:
So instead of using the openstreetmap.org API, a better approach is to download OSM's raw data (in .osm.pbf format, typically in regional extracts from download.geofabrik.de) and process it to extract the data you want. If this is too difficult, you could consider using a third party that provides services from OSM data - mapcat.com is one example with a relevant service. answered 19 Nov '18, 18:10 Richard ♦ |
The answer's probably "yes", but can you give an example of the sort of thing that you want to do so that someone will be able able to give an example in return?
