querying data from local osm file #108

Closed johnbryant1 closed 5 years ago

Hi, I am trying to query the data of a specific osm file from my hard disk. Is it possible to do so directly using overpass without uploading the osm file it to a localhost? Thank you in advance.

There are various ways to query a local OSM file, but Overpass is not one of them. I suggest you look at osmium for basic filtering / querying, or loading the file into a PostGIS database using osm2pgsql

thanks for the recommendation. I have actually managed to query from the overpass web page server.
