[Qgis-user] Download paths from OpenStreetMap

[Clifford Snow]

It is possible to download paths from OpenStreetMap. The easiest way would
be use use overpass-turbo.eu. Here is a sample query to load all paths in
Montana. http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/R65. If the query is too large for
overpass, the area can be split into smaller sections. Another option is to
use the HOT export tool at https://export.hotosm.org/. The HOT export tool
does require an OSM id. Beyond that you can download the entire data file
for a country or region from http://download.geofabrik.de

There is a plugin the QuickOSM plugin for QGIS. I haven't used it much
since I'm used to running overpass but it has a clean user interface.

If you are not familiar with OSM tagging, I strongly recommend reviewing
the wiki at wiki.openstreetmap.org. It may help you understand the tags as
well as filter out features you may not want.

Let me know if you need more help.

Best,
Clifford
