One Answer:
For a another simple approach (without uploading OSM data into PostGIS) I would recommend a series of overpass queries to build layers in QGIS. There is a QGIS plugin which uses overpass syntax to populate layers. However, if you need areas then directly running queries in Overpass-turbo and downloading the geojson is more appropriate. answered 31 Jan '21, 12:59  SK53 ♦ |
Where are you downloading your shapefiles? OSM isn't divided into layers like most GIS, so your provider may be filtering what you've downloaded.
