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?

    Thank you. Of those I think JOSM is the most appealing, if it can directly show the results on the map. I’ll give it a go later just out of interest.

    I also gave osmium tags-filter a go and it’s meeting my needs for now.
