I like searching for POIs via a query language on Overpass. My queries tend to be quite simple - “get all amenities of x type, in y area that have z tag”. The rendered map showing matching POIs is a nice-to-have, but not completely necessary.
What is the best way to do this offline, on Linux? (ideally using software already packaged for Debian, but that’s not vital).
I’m imagining a REPL that I can pass a downloaded map to, and then can query and see the results (in an ideal world, rendering them too).
It seems database schemas are close to what I want, but they seem to be designed more for people doing large scale complex queries and building bespoke databases just with the information they want.
Are these tools a good fit for my use case, or is there is a better/simpler way?
@ambitiousslab Most #openstreetmap software is running on Linux. Almost certainly overkill but if you know about SQL it is possible to setup your own #Postgis based POI database. I have such a beast running as a backend for #opencampingmap see https://poi.openstreetmap.de/ for details.
I spent quite a while browsing your brewery map earlier, very cool!
It is probably overkill for me at the moment, but it’s good to know if my needs ever scale up dramatically. Thank you!
