Download amenities kmz file

Question

Hello, I would like to download amenities of a certain type and area, preferably in kmz format. For example I would like to have a kmz file of amenity=drinking_water in Berlin (more or less). How to do it?

You can use overpass turbo to retrieve specific POIs from OSM.

The following query will search for all drinking water POIs in the currently visible area:

[out:json][timeout:25];
// gather results
(
  nwr["amenity"="drinking_water"]({{bbox}});
  nwr["drinking_water"="yes"]({{bbox}});
);
// print results
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

You can run it here. Hit run. Then go to Export -> Save as KML.
