Search Named Places and Landmarks

Search OpenStreetMap for named geographic features — streets, parks, landmarks, rivers, mountains, districts, or any named OSM element — by partial name (case-insensitive). Optionally constrain results to a bounding box. Filter by element type: node (point features like fountains, statues), way (roads, paths, area outlines), relation (complex features like national parks, city boundaries), or all. Returns name, coordinates or centroid, place type, and all OSM tags. Useful for locating specific landmarks or verifying a place exists in a region.
