OsmAPP (osmapp.org) is a universal web application for the OpenStreetMap ecosystem, designed to be as user-friendly as commercial maps while offering powerful editing capabilities. It functions as a progressive web app (PWA) suitable for both desktop and mobile devices.

The project focuses on creating a seamless experience for viewing POIs, 3D terrain exploration, and lightweight contribution to OSM data.

Features

Map & Exploration

  • Vector Maps: Powered by MapTiler and MapLibre GL, supporting smooth zooming and rotation.
  • 3D Mode: Automatic 3D terrain and building rendering when the map is tilted (two-finger drag or compass drag).
  • Rich POI Data: Clickable Points of Interest displaying detailed tags, including standardized fields from iD editor presets.
  • Media Integration: Display photos directly from Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, Mapillary, KartaView, Panoramax, and Fody.
  • Layers: Support for custom layers and sources from the Editor Layer Index.
  • Permanent URLs: Shareable links (OpenStreetMap official style) for ways, nodes, and relations (e.g., osmapp.org/way/123...) or coordinate shortlinks.

Search & Routing

  • Search: Powered by Photon, supporting searches by place name or category (e.g., "Tesco, London").
  • Advanced Query: Supports direct Overpass queries (e.g., amenity=* or op:<query>) for power users.
  • Routing: Navigation for Car, Bike, and Foot powered by GraphHopper. Supports drag-and-drop waypoints and intermediate stops.

Editing Capabilities

OsmAPP serves as a lightweight editor (authenticated via OSM OAuth):

  • POI Editing: Modify tags using familiar presets.
  • Opening Hours: Includes a specialized visual editor for complex time ranges.
  • Relation Editor: A specialized tool for visualizing and editing relation hierarchies, particularly optimized for climbing areas and routes.
  • Notes: Anonymous users or logged-in mappers can easily create OSM Notes.

OpenClimbing.org

OpenClimbing.org is a sister instance of OsmAPP focused on the climbing community. It renders climbing maps and topos based on OSM data specifically mapped with tags like sport=climbing, climbing=crag, and climbing=route.

It utilizes wikimedia_commons:path to link topo images from Wikimedia Commons to map features.

Development

OsmAPP is open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL. It is built using:

Community translation is available for multiple languages including English, Czech, German, Polish, Spanish, Amharic, Italian, French, Japanese, and Chinese (Simplified & Traditional).
