Re: [OSM-dev] new on osm
Thank you, yes, if Overpass is faster, I would rather have Overpass. Yes, having the compatibility layer option is great! Off-topic: I am happy to report that my experimental nominatim install and upload of data (200 megs - only San Fransisco) to Amazon EC2 worked great for me. I followed http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Installation word for word.

Re: [OSM-dev] new on osm
Hi Sachin, Overpass is usually faster and - if you need it - has more features. Read the Overpass-API documentation for more details, or play around with overpass-turbo (http://www.overpass-turbo.eu) which is a frontend to overpass. regards Peter Am 21.03.2014 16:20, schrieb Sachin Dole: > Hello, > > @Simone, would you suggest Overpass or XAPI for the second question asked > by the OP?

Re: [OSM-dev] new on osm
Hello, @Simone, would you suggest Overpass or XAPI for the second question asked by the OP? I am also a newbie and at this very moment I am trying out OSM Nominatim install on Amazon EC2. I previously was using Mapquest's open/OSM data, but that seems to be old and unmaintained! I would love to know why use overpass instead of XAPI for read only queries. Thanks!
