Overpass turbo is a great tool in locating where tags can befound on the map, but it requires some typing and knowledge.
To help me in finding the tags in the areas where I am doing most of my mapping, I designed this tool to do precisely that: show me where my tags are, and more important: where are they missing!
Do the test yourself:
Start up the tool and locate your hometown.
Then search for something you know there is, like all the Bakeries in your town. Are they on the map? Great!! Are they missing? You have some work to do!
Including the option to create your own set of tags you’re interested in:
You can save as many different sets as you like. They are saved in your cookies, so be sure to turn them on if you need this functionality.
With the load button you can cycle through all your sets.
Also the layout in the popup you see when you click on the map is much improved. Inlcuding working links to websites and wikipedia:
That’ s a very good idea which makes it easier to maintain than the current helpfile!
Thanks for the idea, I’ll start working on it tomorrow. I shall include the link to it in taglocator itself.
And yet another way to use Taglocator.
Finding something which contains at least 2 given keys?
Enter the keys like so: key1][key2[/b]
Here I used shop][tourism[/b].
And now a more complex example.
A wheelchair accessible bookshop with website and telephone.
Enter all terms on one line: shop=books][website][wheelchair=yes][phone[/b]
Note that the listing on the right is too narrow to show the full line, but it works!
The text you enter in the User POIs field will be copied directly to the overpass query, hence anything that is valid code there, is also valid code here. This makes it possible to set up a query that specifically ommits a key, like so: shop=books][phone!~“.”[/b]
will show you all the bookstores that have NO phone listing! You can learn much more here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Language_Guide
Here is the example in New York:
Taglocator name change: I now call it OpenPoiMap.
Some changes in the layout and ordering of some layers.
Also added the option to find public cameras (surveillance:type=camera)
At the botton of the popup you see this (when you clicked the views and editors button):
If you choose the JOSM editor, it will open with the object that you clicked preselected in JOSM!
Also the button now remembers its state: if it shows hide it will do so for every subsequent poi you click until you click that button itself. It then shows: views and editors. Which is the default state.
The layout in the popup window now has all the main keys (amenity, tourism, sport etc.) at the top:
Every key is now an active link to its wiki page!
In the picture above, if you click on ref, it brings you to this page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ref
All clickable links are red underlined if you hover-over.
