Additional services#

Additional services are a number of small services that can help you with you daily GIS tasks.

To use a service you need to get a personal API key in your account.

Overpass#

Overpass API is data extraction tool and database access gateway for OpenStreetMap (OSM) that lets you query specific map features by location, tags, or attributes.

To get your API key, go to the Software and services section of your account. On the Overpass API click Create API key.
