Hello, I am very new to this topic and maybe my question is a bit dumb. For a private Projekt I am looking for the possibility, to download the rivers and lakes from a bigger area (the alps). Until now, I alway tried to download the PDF and import the file in my CAD-Program. Unfortunately, this way is extremely laborious cause I have to download many small tiles and try to put them together afterwards. So is there the possibility to download a bigger area as a vectorized file, maybe where only the contours of the rivers and lakes are shown? Thanks for your help! |

While Overpass lets you download specific features, downloading all water bodies for the whole Alps could be too taxing for the server (and you might run into timeouts). A failsafe process would be to download the "Alps" data file from http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/alps.html and then
Hello, thank you for your detailed reply. I think I unterstand your proposed method, but I'm a bit lost with the handling of the programs. Which programs (and sub-programs etc.) do I need to install for macOS, so I can use your way of solution?

You might get by with installing just the osmium command line tool which claims to be available for macOS but you'll probably have to do some digging for a pre-compiled version - the instructions https://osmcode.org/osmium-tool/manual.html only link to building the package yourself and that might not be appropriate for your skill level.
