#overpass — Public Fediverse posts

This #SOTMUS2026 session demonstrates a #Python program used to identify #urbanheatislands by utilizing #LANDSAT thermal band imagery and #OSM ways exported through #Overpass. The program calculates the land surface temperature exposure for each way.

#Overpass - "Cars" (live 5/9/98 at Toe's Tavern, Redondo Beach, CA)

3/5ths of the old #SSTRecords' band #Slovenly peeling off a rough cover of the #GaryNuman classic under far-from-ideal conditions: grim lighting, crummy acoustics, only a dozen or so paying customers. Ah, the #1990s.

Wenn die wirklich vorhanden ist kann ein Wiener-OSM-Mapper das und andere Duschen vielleicht ergänzen ...
Ein weiteres Tool zur Suche könnte overpass https://overpass-turbo.eu sein.

@harry_wood the purpose wasn't to load balance overpass, but to encourage people to learn how to use SQL.

So often, clients come needing OSM Data and they have an overpass query. And ... You could have written it in SQL!!!

@spacehobo @geofabrik #overpass #postpass

@spacehobo I mean #Overpass is also a PITA to install and operate, even more all the scrapers. It's very... finicky

@spacehobo "I had to give up on #overpass queries"

Just an anecdote but, on some recent occasion I did notice the main OverPass API seemed to be broken, and at the time I found I was able to swap to using "PostPass" instead. It's a new system Frederik and the @geofabrik folks were presenting a #sotmeu25 . https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Postpass

(Not sure it was really their intention to load balance the main overpass API, but maybe it can. It performs a lot better with some queries)

I am REALLY FRIKKEN MAD now that the PBF→Spatialite conversion of #OSM data loses all of the relationships made by the relations in the data. I had to give up on #overpass queries because hey nobody can run an API any more without drowning in LLM scrapers, and the SQLite database is so much quicker in #QGIS than my old geojson/shapefile approach, but the limits of the separate multilinestring rendering of relation data are significant.

My project used to have really nice distinct rendering for signposted cycle routes that changed depending on whether or not the route forced the rider to tAkE tHe LaNe on a designated road. It really highlighted how bad the gaps were in the local cycle network, and was a really important tool for local campaigning!

But now I'm forced into some compromises that make my maps far less useful, all because everything's a botnet now. I'm still not sure it's going to work!

I migrated the container with #Wanderer to a more powerful #Proxmox node, increasing the number of CPUs and the amount of RAM. Now I can build trails using my own computing powers!

#Wanderer also uses #OVERPASS and #Nominatim, and it looks like I can host them as well.

#OSM #Overpass servers have been hit by a lot of abuse lately. I am doing my tiny part, released `overpass` 0.8.2 with help from `bradh` - see the OSM community forum: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/overpass-api-performance-issues/140598/121

Please use OSM resources responsibly, people.

Depuis qu #overpass est inutilisable (enfin, sauf dans #josm) j'ai du réécrire osm mon commerce pour utiliser une copie locale de la base.
Ça fonctionne mais Tsss, ça va prendre un To sur la prod.

I think it's time to set up a dedicated #Overpass server for #Bikerouter.

The well-known public instances have all been struggling with availability and performance lately. I suspect this is the result of an AI bot army that has now completely spiraled out of control. I've noticed a massive spike in bot requests across various projects recently, so the connection is hard to miss.

I put together a test setup over the weekend and will run it for a while to see how it performs. If everything works out, I'll need to rent a server with enough storage for the data and run my own Overpass instance.

This isn't something I'm particularly eager to do, as it takes both time and money, but the alternative isn't appealing either: the Overpass layers are simply too useful to lose.

What does an Overpass server do? It is used for structured querying of the OpenStreetMap database and is employed in Bikerouter, for example, in the built-in POI overlays. It can also be used to create self-configured overlays, for instance to make bicycle streets easily recognizable on the map (see screenshot).

I’m traveling at the moment so i often find myself pulling my laptop out on the train where internet is patchy.
So I’ve found myself setting up more stuff to work locally.
Thats how I found myself trying to compile and run a local copy of the Overpass API for querying open street map data… on a Mac. I’m typing this on my phone from memory so will provide references and corrections later when back at my laptop. #OSM #overpass #overpassturbo #overpassapi #openstreetmap

#overpass servers for #open are overloaded lately, likely due to all #AI bots and whatnot.

Only workaround seems to be setting up your own local instance. Luckily, there exists Docker container which makes it easy (although not fast -- you still have to wait several hours for downloads to complete if you want the whole planet).
