dude, you just saved me from hours and hours of work. Thanks bro

Oh my god this took me so long to find but this video explained it so clearly and simply. Thanks a lot!!

I didn't realise QGIS could do that! Cool!!

I don't know how tot hank you enough. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks

[@sunnyfernseh3909]

Great Tutorial! Any idea how I can grab data for a whole country? E.G. how can I extract all soccer fields in France?

[@ewanharris5433]

Great. I learnt something new. Well presented Thx

[@MrSpinjar]

Thanks for sharing this great piece of information

Oh I've been looking for this! EPIC.

Why connectivity of line and polygon is important in openstreet map?

Thanks! Obrigado! Gil (Brazil)

wonderful video and easy to understand

exactly what I needed, thank you!!!

Great vid! Im trying to download data for a larger area however. Any clue on how to do that? It fails if im too zoomed out

[@ghostsofrecipespast6276]

Thanks very much- this was incredibly helpful!

[@mahmoudmirzaei4701]

Thanks for your great crash course! I am working on a pretty much same project. And I am having hassle with data queries! I already have a plain maps with certain boundaries and I am adding street names on! Any idea how I can search the data like street names on a map? like searching for street names on google maps?

[@nickburns3909]

Thanks perfectly clear. Really appreciate the help.

Thank you. Are there any option to export census block boundary from openstreet map to qgis?

[@philipwhite2088]

Hi. It's easier to just get it straight from the census as a shapefile: www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files/time-series/geo/tiger-line-file.html

is it possible to save each building as a separate layer?

[@philipwhite2088]

I recommend the quick map services plug in.

[@mauricemills9250]

Thank you sir.

[@mirmaid9097]

Does the building polygon include info on building height and floors?

[@philipwhite2088]

Hi. Sometimes, but it depends on what information the person who digitized the building included in the attributes when it was digitized. Check the following attribute fields: building.levels (floors) and height.

[@dinushadiwani3621]

Thanx👍

I used this to also load a network layer of public transportation but I found that I was unable to do network analysis with it using qneat. Does anyone know how to make it work?

[@muhammadzahid333]

I am transport engineer, did u make it ?

[@zhafrans2901]

@@muhammadzahid333 I managed to do it but the problem I had was that the algorithm would generate paths that would jump out of the network instead of following it... Do you know how I could fix it?

Hi. How can I extract roads for the past 5 years?

[@Chintales]

Useful one

[@keithmoonbury6777]

Thanks a lot.

[@retparatrooper]

for some reason I only get a few buildings no matter what city I apply this. What do you think is causing this?

[@philipwhite2088]

perhaps has to do with the extent of your query? ie "IN" "AROUND" "CANVAS EXTENT" etc... ?

[@ourspacesinc]

is there a way of extracting only street names from a certain area into a list form

[@philipwhite2088]

After adding the OSM data, you could right click on the layer and export. specify that you want to export as CSV, and that will export just the attirubte table, which has street names in the attributes.

[@jezt295]

Hello, i edited my city and change colors of roads and polygon but don't know how to save that when i open it again, the color will be the same as what i edited before?

[@philipwhite2088]

If you save the QGIS project file (.qgz) your styling should be preserved when you open it again.

[@ratuladash2782]

Thank You

[@kidakvls2305]

Hi, I wanted to ask if you would have any idea on why even after trying all the proper projection adjustments, when I export the OSM data vectors as DXFs, they are never scaled 1:1, when opened with any AUTODESK programs, with the dimensions they show on QGIS.

[@philipwhite2088]

Hi--I'm not sure as I don't do any CAD work... However: my question for you is: how are you exporting it as DXF because there are several ways. There's the right-click > Export method, and there's also a tool in the toolbox called Export to Layers to DXF. There's also the v.out.dxf tool in the Grass > Vector tool set. If you've been trying the right-click method, I would give some of these more specific tools a try. That's about as far as I am willing to guess at how to fix this problem. I hope maybe that helps.

[@nycb303]

Are you aware of the OpenStreetMap plug in no longer working in QGIS 3.0? i can't get the basemap to show up and have seen some comments online that there is a bug in the plug in right now

[@philipwhite2088]

I am not using the openstreetmap plugin in this video. I use QuickOSM to pull the data and I am displaying the OpenStreetMap basemap using the QuickMapServices plugin.

[@mohammedomer6466]

can i add parking area in qgis to CAD file

[@philipwhite2088]

If you extract parking areas from OSM into QGIS, you should be able to export to DXF format by going to Project > Import/Export > Export Project to DXF. Good luck!

[@wolfsburggti4476]

How do I filter for school zone signs and construction zone signs?????

[@philipwhite2088]

Nice car. I have not seen school zone data in OSM, and it wouldn't have construction zones as those are temporary. For school zones, you might have better luck searching for GIS data from the local department of transportation for whatever area you're working on. Same for construction zones. You can usually find speed limit information in the attributes of DOTs' most detailed roads layers.

[@paulvbarbar9957]

Very Cool man. Keep making videos like this. Sub'd.

[@md.mahiuddin3097]

Hi, I want to show/add the google satellite image (Or other base map) date in qgis. Is there any option for this? I want to print a lots of fields with date of image acquisition using atlas print option. Would you please help me.

[@user-wq6de6jb2i]

Open the Browser pane, expand the XYZ Tiles layer, and double-click on the base maps you want to load in!

[@enricollen]

thanks buddy

[@aparna603]

How to add Open Street Map as a base map in QGIS? Please reply.....

[@aparna603]

via QuickMapServices Plugin. I found it under another comment. Thankyou so much!

[@simontrickfilmer]

it's somehow possible to extract the Contours to Vector?

[@philipwhite2088]

Perhaps too late, but... I don't believe OSM has elevation information. Depending on your area of interest, you could get elevation data from a variety of sources. In the US, try the National Map. You can also get a digital elevation model for anywhere in the globe and derive the contours... try Googling "qgis create contours from dem". NASA has an updated global scale elevation model data set: www.gislounge.com/updated-global-elevation-data-released-by-nasa/

[@simontrickfilmer]

@@philipwhite2088 thanks a lot! I will look at it tomorrow, or nexg week, month. Never too late 😁

[@raynotusingyet6402]

How do you upload the map on QGIS

[@philipwhite2088]

If you mean how to display OpenStreetMap as a basemap as I did in the video, I used the QuickMapServices plug in. Be sure to go into the QuickMapServices settings and add the contributed pack if you want all the layers that are available.

[@terrablader]

Great quick OSM missing allot of buildings in LA area why is this? like 5% is all it has

[@tim123barry]

Anyone know how to query 2 or more values at once?

[@tvdp1010]

perform two query's and then merge the attribute table on the ID attribute with the join attributes table on fieldvalue tool in the toolbox.

[@tim123barry]

@@tvdp1010 I mean just perform one query, that would get the results of say Highway:Motorway + Highway:Primary + Highway:Secondary together at once, rather than doing 3 separate queries for each, and then having to merge the 3 layers. I suspect can be done with Overpass Query coding, just trying to figure out how?

I want to use OSM instead of the spyware known as Google maps. It creeps me out when Google asks me to rate a place I've been that day. I don''t find OSM easy to use or understand, though.

hello philip what version of qgis did you use since not all versions of qgis accept all plugins, thanks for your help :)

Right now I'm running 3.14 and everything demonstrated in this video still works just fine.
