FAQPage Schema
How do I find nearby places using OpenStreetMap data?▼

You can find nearby places by providing a location via latitude/longitude coordinates, addresses, city names, or zip codes. The tool queries OpenStreetMap using Overpass and Nominatim APIs to return place names, types, distances, and map links.

Can I search for specific amenities like pharmacies or restaurants near a given address?▼

Yes, you can discover specific amenities like pharmacies, restaurants, and cafes near an address. The search accepts user-specified parameters to filter local places and outputs names, distances, and Google Maps links for directions.

What is the best way to query local discovery by coordinates instead of an address?▼

To query local discovery by coordinates, format your argument using latitude and longitude flags, such as '--lat 40.7580 - -73.9855'. This bypasses geocoding and directly retrieves nearby places using the Overpass API.

Does this local place search support programmatic JSON output?▼

Yes, the local place search supports customizable output formats including JSON. This allows you to retrieve place names, types, and distances programmatically for integration into other applications or workflows.

How do I get directions to a place discovered through a geolocation search?▼
