PTNA is currently undergoing major renovations:
- Overpass API queries are being replaced by queries towards ‘osmium’ based on planet extracts, step by step.
Q: Why all this?
A: PTNA reaches / exceeds the fair use limit for Overpass API queries
Q: Will my ‘network’ / analysis be affected?
A: Almost all ‘network’ will be changed. But only “almost all”.
Q: Will I see differences?
A: No, at least that is the goal. But: Queries to Overpass and queries to ‘osmium tags-filter’ are different. So there might be some difference. Please report any strange differences. Fine-Tuning will take place then.
Q: When will it start?
A: Tonight we start with parts of Germany in the UTC+01 time zone: DE-BY-CBB (already available), DE-BY-RVO and DE-NW-VRR. I hope it will run without any problems.
Q: Where can I see the current status of the switchover?
A: The statistics page has 3 new columns under “Filter Planet Extract” and a time zone specific output (see: UTC+01)
Thanks to @Jochen_Topf for the discussions on ‘osmium’ during the FOSSGIS OSM Community Meeting 2024 number 21
