OSMnx · Download features (POIs)

Buildings and amenities for Burjassot, snapped to the street network, plus the geocoding and geometry helpers. Mirrors the Features panel.

Features download independently of any network, but snapping needs one present.

2. Snap POIs to the network

Snap POIs has three modes. Attribute Only records the nearest node without moving anything. Move to Node relocates each POI onto its nearest street node. Add Connector leaves the POI in place and draws a short edge to the network.
