FAQPage Schema
How do I find nearby restaurants and amenities using OpenStreetMap data?▼

To find nearby amenities with OpenStreetMap, query Overpass around user coordinates or geocode a place query. Results include distance, map URLs, directions links, and optional fields like opening hours, phone, and cuisine.

Can I geocode an address or zip code to search for local places without latitude and longitude?▼

Yes, you can geocode an address, city, zip code, or landmark using Nominatim. This converts the text query into coordinates, enabling nearby amenity discovery through Overpass without needing manual latitude and longitude input.

How do I search for multiple amenity types at once, like cafes and bars, within a specific radius?▼

You can apply multiple amenity-type filters simultaneously, such as restaurant and bar, within a configurable radius and limit. This multi-type filtering returns structured nearby locations matching any selected amenity category from OpenStreetMap.

Does local discovery with Overpass and Nominatim require paid map APIs?▼

No, local discovery with Overpass and Nominatim uses OpenStreetMap data exclusively, eliminating the need for paid map APIs. You can search for nearby amenities and geocode place queries without incurring API costs.

Can I get JSON output for nearby places found through OpenStreetMap for programmatic use?▼

Yes, the local discovery process supports optional JSON output for programmatic use. This machine-readable format includes structured results with distance and map or directions URLs, alongside available enrichment fields like address and website.

What enrichment fields are available when querying OpenStreetMap for nearby amenities?▼

Available enrichment fields include opening hours, phone, website, address, and cuisine when present in OpenStreetMap tags. These details are optionally returned alongside distance and map directions URLs for located amenities.
