Visualizing OpenStreetMap Edits

2018-04-25

I decided to visualize my contributions to OpenStreetMap(OSM) over the last few months to see what impact I had on the map. Using Overpass Turbo, you can run:

( node(user:'patrick noll'); way(user:'patrick noll'); ); out meta;

This will include all the nodes and ways where you were the last to edit. Export the data to a geojson file.

Use the Leaflet js library to render the data with Mapbox tiles you end up with a fairly crowded map you can show off on your website. See Map.js and index.html for the code you'll need. Just make sure to swap the Mapbox access token and change the fetch call to your data location.
