May I suggest you add the capability to use maps from the OpenStreetMap project offline.

 

Many thanks

+1 and please let us add some alternative maps indeed...

So that we can include some local maps as well as some indoor maps...

Sorry for necroposting but the ability to geocode from OSM files would be extremely welcome.

Nominatim and similar services are cumbersome to use on large lists, this would offset the issue.

This ability is becoming increasingly important....

Nowadays half of the analysis in Retail is #in-store analytics

How the footfall is distributed on the retail floor...

Not to mention all geographical data used in predictive maintenance. Having a geo-coder of some sorts would be extremely welcome. That said, I'm working on OSM files to see if I can cook up something in a workflow.

Hi, I am just starting trying to use OSM data in alteryx. I have the large download from OSM in the osm.bz2 format. How did you input it into alteryx? I am seeing that the file type is unsupported. Thank you!

Hi, I made a tutorial about it here: https://opencitizendatascience.blogspot.com/2019/07/extracting-openstreetmap-features-with.html

 

OSM.bz2 is a compressed format, you should unzip it first.

Hi, thank you! How are you unzipping the file? I opened the tutorial but it seems already ready to input as XML.

IIRC it's enough to rename is as .zip and unzip it.

Thank you @marco_zara . The tutorial is very helpful.

 

Quick question, which tool is used for the below steps:

It's the multi-row formula tool IIRC.
