I'm trying to use OSM and UMap to create a custom map showing my organization's region/territory. It's described as a list of US Counties, plus an additional fixed distance beyond those counties. Ideally each county would show as its boundary, and then I could create lines for the additional distance. When I search in OSM for one of the counties (DuPage County), I get precisely what I'd like : https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1800060 . When I search for the same county in uMap, I just get a point marker at the city which contains the county seat of government. I don't see any way to bring up an associated boundary. All my attempts to import data from OSM, in order to show county boundaries, have failed. I'm probably in over my head trying to do this, but any hints would be appreciated. asked 08 Feb '22, 17:14 Greater Chic... |
Search in uMap is fairly basic, and will give only markers. But you can import linear data in two ways :
In your case, as the data should never change, I would go on solution 2, to reduce the load on the servers. Here are the details :
Hope this helps, please ask if you need more assistance. Regards. answered 08 Feb '22, 19:21 H_mlet 1
Thanks for the well crafted answer H_mlet. Overpass-turbo really like a Rosetta Stone for my mapping needs. Here's what I was able to get done in short order after your answer:

Yeah, uMap is pretty neat. Sometime a bit quirky, and sadly unmaintained, but still great!
