This was really made in 2016. I hacked it together back then, and forgot about it. Now I needed to check what did I do yesterday, and I remembered that I once made this tool. It needed just a quick update of the authorization header.

Since this is missing on github, i thought it could be useful for other people. :-)


Hi, it often happens to me, that I write a comment, mark issue as "done" on the notification page, but then I can't find it again.

I rediscovered a tool I created for this 8 years ago and after a little tweak it works perfectly. Enjoy :-)


Hi, unfortunately this is caused by Maptiler map tiles prefering Wikidata over OSM. More info here: https://github.com/zbycz/osmapp/issues/221

You can find the "correct" OSM entity here: https://osmapp.org/way/94708772

Hi - I am the author.

OsmAPP is my take on creating a universal OpenStreetMap app for broad public. It should be as easy to use as Google Maps, including clickable POIs and featuring as much of OSM data as possible. I want to educate the user about wikipedia-like experience of OSM, thus edit is possible even for anonymous visitors. It is has still a long way to go ;)

- Big thanks to Maptiler which processes raw OSM data and provides the vector tiles. https://www.maptiler.com/

- Geocoding is done by Photon API which allows autocomplete. The main OSM sites uses Nominatim API which can't. https://photon.komoot.io/

Also thank you very much for featuring OsmAPP here, perhaps someone will find it useful. :-)


Perhaps I am missing something obvious, but... where do you find the actual app? Is it only for iOS?


It is a web app - just visit https://osmapp.org in mobile or desktop.

PWA is experimential feature, it lets you add it on homescreen, but nothing more. It is still online web app. See https://osmapp.org/install For mobile we have already several great native apps (OrganicMaps, Osmand, Mapy.cz).


It appears to be a pwa/web app:
