Overpass Query Wizard ++

overpass turbo’s query wizard just got a little bit more useful! It understands not only OSM tags, but even interprets object classes: Just use simple terms such as Restaurant, Museum, Hotel, Hospital or any other thing, the iD editor already has a preset for.

This even works in your own language, as you can see in the following screenshot (Trinkbrunnen is German for “drinking fountain”):

Btw: if you can read German, you can find some more information about this in my recent guest blog article on blog.openstreetmap.de.

It like it! Combined with “location filters” it feels quite like natural language. I tried “library in london” for example.
