Using Overpass Turbo

Bryan Housel edited this page Mar 19, 2021 · 1 revision

Sometimes you might want to know the locations where a feature exists in OpenStreetMap. Overpass Turbo can show them on a map:

  1. Go to https://overpass-turbo.eu/

  2. Enter your query like this, replacing the name and other OpenStreetMap tags. Because we don't specify a bounding box, this will perform a global query.

    nwr["name"="かっぱ寿司"]["amenity"="fast_food"];
    out center;
    


    👉 Tip: The browsable index at https://nsi.guide/ can open Overpass Turbo with the query already set up for you.

  3. Click run to view the results.

    As expected, the "かっぱ寿司" (Kappazushi) locations are all concentrated in Japan.

    Overpass search for かっぱ寿司
