|
## Useful things to know
|
|
|
|
### Overpass Turbo
|
|
|
|
https://overpass-turbo.eu/
|
|
|
|
Can be used to query literally any kind of thing from OpenStreetMaps.
|
|
The wizard can be used to generate API queries in a human-readable-ish way.
|
|
e.g. you can search for `"Railway Route" in italy` and it'll make a query for you.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the queries miss stuff. The above query won't actually get all the train routes.
|
|
|
|
If you see that your query misses someting (e.g. a railway), you can go to https://www.openstreetmap.org, find that railway, and inspect it to see what you can search for.
|
|
|
|
### Map base layer
|
|
|
|
You can use Carto as a base layer in QGIS.
|
|
`Web` -> `QuickMapServices` -> `Carto` -> `Positron`
|
|
|
|
### Masking the map
|
|
|
|
Use the `Mask` plugin.
|
|
|
|
Select a polygon using the `Select Features by Area or Single Click` tool in the toolbar.
|
|
Set it as the mask in the plugin menu.
|
|
|
|
You can combine different polygons using e.g. `Vector` -> `Geoprocessing Tools` -> `Clip`
