CachlyOpenStreetMap POI Search
Find parking, bus stops, viewpoints — any OpenStreetMap point of interest — right on Cachly’s map with a q: query.
How it works
With Pro Offline Maps enabled, you can search OpenStreetMap points of interest right on the map. Start a search with q: followed by a tag query, e.g. q:amenity=parking, and combine conditions with and/or (q:highway=bus_stop and shelter=yes). Queries use the Overpass turbo Wizard syntax — that page documents the full grammar (comparison operators, wildcards, quoting) and is a handy reference for discovering tag names. Results are limited to the visible map area — tap a placed icon to inspect its tags, create an offline geocache, or navigate.
Example queries
These are drawn from the Overpass turbo Wizard documentation, with Cachly’s q: prefix added — try them as-is, then swap in your own tags:
| Query | Finds |
|---|---|
q:tourism=hotel | Hotels — handy when planning a caching trip. |
q:amenity=drinking_water | Drinking water fountains along the trail. |
q:amenity=parking | Parking — find a spot near the trailhead. |
q:highway=bus_stop or railway=platform | Bus stops or railway platforms (or matches either). |
q:highway=bus_stop and shelter=yes | Only bus stops that have a shelter (and requires both). |
q:(highway=primary or highway=secondary) and type:way | Primary or secondary roads — parentheses group conditions, and type:way restricts the element type (node, way or relation). |
q:cycleway:opp | A bare word matches partially — this finds opposite, opposite_track, opposite_lane… |
q:name~"^DB0.*" | Regular expressions with ~ — here, names starting with “DB0”. |
in Vienna, around …) aren’t needed in Cachly — the search area is always the map you’re looking at. Pan or zoom, then search again.
