How to find nearest road(API)

[stephan75]

@AndriiArtemenko

Thank you!

I understood that I need to write a query, but it does not work.

  <query type="node">
    <has-kv k="highway" v="road"/>    
    <around lat="47.992822" lon="37.80517" radius="1000.0"/>
  </query>
  <print/>

Can you help me?

This looks like querying for a NODE which has highway=road … that will fail!

Because you have to look for WAYS … and a tag with the key “highway” can have different values, not only “road”

Read much at the OSM wiki, especially at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Elements and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway

Success?
