glad you liked! will do a more difficult one soon. a lot of times u end up at a dead end because of incomplete data on open street map, which makes for some fun adventures.
@@Wany1264 Not all programmer keep up with the latest technology, Me myself literally have trauma with any sort of programming with maps, its a nightmare when you working with it.
@@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.
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.
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
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!
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!
Rainbolt, have you heard that Germany Street View is gone forever? There's no Google coverage anywhere but in museums and when you play the Germany Geoguessr map, they most likely show you an ari.
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.
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
That background from the google map image with the old van on the grass and a single trash bin and the shed panels falling off looks cooler than the photo used in the actual album cover.
Crazy that ChatGPT gave you a search query which actually worked, because as I tried it out once, it just gave me nonsense search queries which were full of bugs too
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?
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
*You have legitimately become my favorite RU-vid 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 RU-vid platform. Thank you for making it. That’s all I wanted to say ☺️
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
you should do “community challenges” where you post an image on like community tab or discord or something and then first person to find the location wins, then you go into detail about how to find that image
The thing that is a complete leap for me here is getting it down to Kentucky. The license plate was way too grainy for me to make out and if we replaced Jack with anyone else I don't think you'd have the same content clues. How would you be able to narrow it down without that giant context clue?
If you had no idea it was Kentucy the same principles apply but it is going to take longer. Other clues include the type of trees; your sense of the antiquity of the neighborhood, climate clues (east, west, north, south).
This is not far from Bellarmine University. I drunk walked down that alley all the time when I was a student. It is so bizarre seeing people find that spot on a map now from the Jack Harlow album.
i played my first ever geoguessr game and i got dropped one block away from my house. i feel like the odds of that happening in a distance game are insane
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.
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 RU-vidrs 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?
there's this one toxic guy that keeps trash talking to me, and he recently sent me a photo of himself in the back alley of his house... anyway great video rainbolt! 🙂
That was backwards logic though. You knew the license plate was a Kentucky one and only confirmed it with a google search. Same goes for the trash can logo.
Interesting! I knew Overpass Turbo from my 2018 Pokémon GO days where we would be looking for park/grass-like areas which would be eligible to spawn a special kind of raid. Didn’t occur to me until now that you can query for stuff next to stuff. And ChatGPT makes it trivial!
Hate being that person, but being from Louisville, I feel inclined to say that no one here calls it "Loo-ee-ville". It's "Loo--uh-vull" Great video btw!
"no one here calls it" I get that a lot where I am now living. I do not pronounce things the way other people pronounce things. Obviously they are doing it wrong. Many French names but I am not French and do not pretend to be. As to Louisville, I pronounce it the way it is spelled and if someone realizes I am not from Louisville, congratulations on the obvious.
“You’re gonna know in like ten minutes how you’re gonna find this in like 5 minutes” Okay that don’t quite make sense to me but I’m here for the ride let’s learn
Bro his sense of direction is off the charts, me n my dad take pride in using gps to get to a new spot once n then we never need it again because we use landmarks the same way he does but this guy is a god, like blue sticker on light pole means france, who knows tht but this guy, then rockets on japans poles tht point down n thats how he knows hes in japan, this man is truly incredible
It doesn't look like a Kentucky license plate though. I just see a blurry mess. Same with the logo on the trash can, same with the numbers on the house.
