@@Wany1264 sorry I guess I’m not just not a real map nerd/programmer. I mean, I’m a software engineer and I love maps, but definitely not enough apparently.
@@Sam-cl1ow don't be sorry, you were excited to find out such a program existed and typed that to emphasize on how eager you were. Go enjoy overpass turbo and don't let randoms bring you down for being excited!
@@AztemophyisExactly. People who think coders (SWEs, programmers etc) who are map enthusiasts should know every software that can do map stuff or help with that, aren't aware of the vast majority of tools out there and that not everyone in the field would be as deep as they are into such tools.
yeah and 10 seconds later, looks at the trashcan, googles Louisville trashcan, It's easy to find if you know what you're searching for. I'd like to see him do it and explain whith place he doesn't know where it is at the start.
Thank you so much man. I would really love more how to content like this. I have a dissociative disorder and Geoguessr is one of the few things that grounds me. Would have never found it if it wasn't for you collabing with Ludwig. 🤘
stay strong friend! my best friend deals with dissociation, anxiety, adhd, potentially autism, etc. i’ve had to ground her many times before she even knew what it was or what she was going through and essentially be her rock for basically her whole life. thankfully i’ve always been into psych so i always knew roughly how to approach her and how to help without triggering things further, so i ended up becoming her safe space by sheer accident. find things that help you through those lows until you can break back into those highs, and keep going forward with the strength i know you have because you’re so loved and worthy of life even if you don’t have people around you letting you know. take care of yourself, you deserve it! ♡
I contribute a ton of stuff to OpenStreetMap like adresses, buildings and a lot of other stuff and I also use overpass turbo to see the popularity of certain tags. Pretty fun to see you use the same data that we contribute to find the locations!
How do contribute? There's some missing data I've come across, compared to google maps at least (like houses with no address listed, or street names with an inconsistent ending blvd rd st etc.)
I would love more vids like this- both for the educational style with overpass turbo as its really cool for finding historical/pop culture references. Could also see you making a geoguessr focused series breaking down a learning path starting with more easy things (telephone poles?) to complex things like the dirt lol.
Watching the process was so fun to watch. Another thing you could do that a lot of people would enjoy is doing old album covers as well, maybe as tiktoks
THIS WAS SUPER AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for walking us through it, it was really interesting and I've wanted to learn how to do this for a really long time. I also think it'd be lovely if you showed us how to find locations without addresses because I imagine that would be a lot harder. Anyways, thank you so much for the tutorial!
One of the most talented UA-camrs I've ever seen... and such a solid dude! Thanks for helping track down the scam call center a while back, your superhero skills are definitely paying off!
i used GIS software in college, which is basically the same type of thing as overpass turbo, and really just loved using it so much for data analysis. makes a lot of sense why you'd be using it though, haha
Love to see the process! It's cool to see you find some obscure place, but it's very interesting to see the thoughts and tricks that make it all possible. The use of GPT for query was a smart trick
thats an interesting way to go about it that i didnt think of before, since i do a good bit of coding / programming myself (work in data integration). would it be useful at all to pair the overpass API with something akin to the street view API to rip thumbnails / snapshots from a list of coordinates returned by the overpass API? this probably wouldnt help for cases like this where you need to search alleyways as opposed to the actual street, but maybe this could be used for other scenarios to quickly see what the environment looks like around each coordinate, rather than having to search each coordinate manually - or are a lot of these scenarios largely down to discretion and cant be easily ruled out from a few snapshots at those exact coordinates? anyways, awesome stuff!
very cool! I didn't know this website! :D it's funny to see you talk that's easy, which it seems but finding this optimal way of finding places is hard. Creating the easy method is hard and you (and the community) deserve a lot of credit for it! Love the video!
One short I saw of you is finding family photos from someone's father who passed away. The one I'm referring to is on a nature walkway. Always thought that was a cool process since, my hunch anyways, is researching trees and plants then mapping topography maps. How do you do that?
Rather than people knowing how to do this, I think it's equally if not more important that they know it's not only possible but how easy it is. Too many people on the internet nowadays plaster images of their surroundings to social media. It's better that they realize that a picture of their surroundings outside is the equivalent of having location pins turned on while tweeting.
I'd definitely love to see more about using Overpass Turbo. I managed to follow along with the 1948 query with ChatGPT but attempting to do something else like finding a skate park within 50 miles of my city just produces errors. Is this one of the situations where I just need to get good and learn to code?
This is great - it also works with "write an overpass turbo prompt to find addresses in City X that are residential in wealthy elderly neighborhoods (consider rich people's amenities) - detached or semi-detached houses" - thus well-suited for off-market real estate research :p
This really shows how cool and capable ChatGPT really is. Sometimes you dismiss it like "ok it can write code like me, but dirtier and with more bugs", but it can write this code in any language and write any queries for any obscure thing you wouldn't bother learning. It really gives you a superpower to dive into something new like 10x faster.
This was awesome. Thanks for sharing about Overpass Turbo. I'm a programmer, so this is an awesome tool to be able to help friends and family find info like this too.
part of the educational aspect is experienced stalkers etc already know this stuff kinda like how some pentesters frequently tweet about their work with some even occasionally appearing in the news explaining things like how easy it is to discover passwords from social media scraping
*You have legitimately become my favorite UA-cam channel since I discovered you this past month.* I want you to know that. I know it’s just like nonsense from some random stranger leaving this comment but Rainbolt really is the best channel on the UA-cam platform. Thank you for making it. That’s all I wanted to say ☺️
The thing is, in this particular case, you had a massive clue by being american, which is the Kentucky Plate, but I'm pretty sure the rest of the world is not even aware USA has multiple license plates designs depending on the state, let alone the REGIONAL trashcans, so you narrowed down the searching location very quickly. How would you change your approach if those two clues were not a thing?
This is a bad example cause he's famous so you know where he's from. You can't tell those plates are from kentucky. You should make this video with a random photo.
Easy mode is aviation UA-camrs because you've got aerial view of landmarks and runway numbers to work with. At least you'd know what airports they use. Others can be a bit more tricky unless you know what city they're in or nearby to. The website being used also quickly narrows down things like the address numbers, but likely also narrows things by proximity like intersections, fire hydrants, and various street signs, and perhaps stuff like building color?
This was really cool to see. I would be curious to see how you find the locations where there is no housing, like the landscape photos with just rocks and trees.
I can do it on 2 seconds. Looked out the window and boom. Found a street.
