Is there a good alternative website for google maps? I tried the official OSM website but I can't search simple things like "gyms" or "cafes" in the current viewport (it does a name search instead of a category search)
<a href="https://foursquare.com/city-guide" rel="nofollow">https://foursquare.com/city-guide</a> layers Foursquare's proprietary labeled place taxonomy ( <a href="https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/categories" rel="nofollow">https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/categories</a> ) on top of Mapbox maps which use OSM. It's certainly not all open source data, but if you want something that's an already-deployed website that doesn't use Google tech, it may be your best bet.
<a href="https://overpass-turbo.eu/" rel="nofollow">https://overpass-turbo.eu/</a> is a complete search for OpenStreetMap.
It’s a bit cumbersome to use, but the wizard is great and the search is super powerful.
I particularly like “banks far away from police stations” example: <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Overpass_API_by_Example#Banks_far_away_from_police_stations" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Overpass_AP...</a> ;)
GeoNames.org or OSM will give you natural places ("New York", "River Thames", etc). Commercial places ("McDonalds", "Cafes", etc) are primarily proprietary databases.<p>As a reference, Apple maps sources its commercial places data from a combination of: TomTom, Automotive Navigation Data, Getchee, Hexagon AB, IGN, Increment P, Intermap Technologies, LeadDog, MDA Information Systems, OpenStreetMap, and Waze.
