OSMnx · Download features (POIs)
Download buildings and amenities for Burjassot, snap points of interest to the street network, and use the geocoding and geometry helpers.
This walkthrough mirrors the Features panel.
Before you begin
Open the OSMnx tab. A downloaded street network is useful for snapping POIs, but features can be downloaded independently.
1. Features from a place
In Features, choose From Place and enter Burjassot, Valencia, Spain. Set the tag to fetch (the default is buildings). Press the operator to download the footprints as a mesh.
2. Other sources
The same panel offers From Point, From Address, From BBox, From Polygon and From XML. Use From Point with a center and Distance for a fixed radius around a location.
3. Snap POIs to the network
With both a feature object and a street network present, press Snap POIs and pick a mode:
- Attribute Only — record the nearest node without moving anything.
- Move to Node — relocate each POI to its nearest street node.
- Add Connector — draw a short connector edge to the network.
4. Geocoding and geometry helpers
The panel also exposes utilities: Geocode, Geocode to GDF, BBox from Point, BBox to Polygon, Buffer, Interpolate and Sample Points. Use Geocode to resolve a place name to coordinates without downloading a network.
