OpenStreetMap research with Overpass and Postpass — no code required.

Map-Ops brings structured geodata research together in a protected interface. Overpass Turbo-style queries, Postpass and distance rules – without a single line of code.

What Map-Ops can do

Overpass & Postpass without code

Build complex Overpass queries and Postpass requests through a graphical interface – no query syntax required.

Distance rules

Find objects in spatial relation to each other: check whether two object types lie within a defined distance of each other.

Map-based analysis

Results are instantly visualised on the interactive map and can be searched and filtered in table view.

Export support

Export results as CSV, HTML, KML or GPX – for GIS workflows, documentation and reports.

Multiple search modes

Radius search, administrative area, drawn map area or full area dump – depending on the task.

Presets & quick access

System and user presets for frequently used tag combinations – save once, reuse whenever needed.

Use cases

OSINT & terrain research

Quickly and systematically research infrastructure, facilities and objects in an area – based on publicly available OSM data.

GEOINT & geodata analysis

Prepare, export and integrate OpenStreetMap geodata for geospatial analysis and existing GIS workflows.

Planning & mapping

Query and document POIs, transport infrastructure, buildings and land use for planning projects.

Frequently asked questions

What is Map-Ops?

Map-Ops is a web-based application for structured research in OpenStreetMap data. It enables Overpass and Postpass queries as well as distance analysis through a graphical interface – no programming knowledge required.

Do I need programming knowledge?

No. Map-Ops is explicitly designed for users without knowledge of the Overpass query language. Queries are built using graphical input fields.

Which geodata is available?

Map-Ops accesses OpenStreetMap data – via the public Overpass API and the Postpass backend hosted by Geofabrik. OSM data is available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL).

Do I need an account?

Yes, using Map-Ops requires an account. Registration is free and requires a valid email address. Disposable email addresses are not permitted.

Which export formats are supported?

Search results can be exported as CSV, HTML, KML and GPX. The HTML format is optimised for printing and documentation.
