Proposal: Add more Info from Overlay-POI

Discussion Planned features
1

Proposal, for some free time in the future :wink:

I use Overpass to collect interesting POI into file, import it as overlay.

Currently only a limited set like name of the included information is displayed. The external Link (very good) can be used to see more data about this POI on OpenStreetMap.

Example data from OSM/Overpass:

The point in OSM by external link from Kurviger.

If the most interesting data (Name, address fields, phone, website, opening hours) is already displayed in Kurviger, it would be quite comfortable to click through the points.

Ok, here these points are book-shops, but I think it would also helpful for camping-sites and more motorcycle-related stuff.

Thanks for the proposal, this is open for voting, if anyone needs it, I think this would be indeed helpful :slight_smile:

Addition or alternative.

When I activate a favorite folder as overlay and a point is selected, it appears this way. The name is displayed on the top. In the mobile application, the name of the marked point is displayed immediately without having to pull the drawer up (no screenshot).

When I export the favorites to gpx and use this this gpx as overlay, it is displayed this way. The name is displayed as attribute. In the mobile application you have to pull up the drawer to see the name.

From my point displaying already the name as for favorites would be very helpful.

I am using the overlays for several purposes and I am currently not so happy about the information for a point from an imported overlay.

Currently it looks like this (gpx from Overpass) - same node as used in screenshot above.

In above screenshot the External Link was displayed, what is very useful.

Just displaying the name is not sufficient, as often the name is the same over the file. I tried to move the link in the name-field, but this field can not be used to copy into the clipboard quickly (as for example the coordinate). It is neccessary to go the very hard way over the OSM-Button to get more information.

Question
Could you please provide more information, which fields from gpx / overlay can be used? Perhaps I can use another field. I am really missing the link and do not know how to change the gpx.

New suggestion
More or less replacing the stuff above.

  • The basic data is fine, it already takes a lot of space.
  • A button with detail to access details about the node / POI could be added
  • A list with all data from the gpx to this node / point should be displayed
  • All items should be shown - at least it is conform to gpx-guideline (means: best all standard gpx-fields should be supported)
  • Special case for desc: If the tags are osm-like, display as table (typical export from Overpass)
  • [edit] Best, when the fields can be clicked to copy to clipboard

The issue with GPX is that there are not that many properties, so desc is not the worst solution.

You can use the link in GPX as well. However, I am not sure if Overpass might pass the link in the wrong way to the GPX, right now we expect the links to look like this:

<link>http://osm.org/browse/node/623539243</link>, we will double check and allow importing links like they are passed from Overpass in the future as well.
