Querys along a line for quick search #404

Open Smo-RBR opened 2 years ago

Smo-RBR commented 2 years ago

I'm always frustrated when I look for OSM entrys along a line like a hiking path or a river. Yes, it’s possible to do the query directly on overpass turbo or load all features along a line in Josm, an d take this as input for QuickOsm. But, all this require much more steps than directly using QuickOSM which is a great tool.

Describe the solution you'd like

Passing a line or an WKT directly in QuickOSM Quicksearch will avoid much work and will this kind of query much more accessible.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The alternatives are described above, but nothing is like using QuickOSM and get the results directly in Qgis.

Additional context

Maybe it could be useful to limit the number of points, so that simplifying a track is necessary. This will avoid overusage.

Thank you very much.

Regarding Do you want to use a WKT as input or a line selection ? - I think a first step would be to integrate that WKT Linestrings are accepted as Input in the Quick Search Form when selecting Around.
