Yes, you can search for multiple place types in a single query. The tool geocodes your provided address, city, or zip code into coordinates and retrieves all specified nearby amenities within a configurable radius.

Yes, the nearby search supports flexible queries using coordinates, addresses, cities, and zip codes. Nominatim handles the geocoding to convert these inputs into coordinates for the Overpass API search.

You get JSON output by running the script with your location query. The structured results include the distance, coordinates, place type, optional fields, and direct links to Google Maps for each nearby amenity found.

The best way is using Nominatim to geocode the address into coordinates, then leveraging Overpass to search for nearby amenities within a set radius. This returns structured data with distances and maps links for immediate navigation.

No external dependencies are required to use this nearby search. The script operates independently to query OpenStreetMap data via Overpass and Nominatim, outputting structured JSON results without prerequisite installations.
