Maybe we have already a solution for it, maybe not. Maybe someone is motivated to create one?
I would like to see a tool that searches for all #OpenStreetMap notes in a defined area and calculates an optimal route to each of them. Maybe from my position to all of them, and back home.
Routing via car/bike/foot of course.
It should have a cool name. Suggestions appreciated.
@mfuhrmann I don’t know of a ready-made software specific to OSM notes but if you can import them into qgis, you can solve it as a travelling sales person problem using, for example, graphopper or ORS.

@dadavid thanks. I will have a look at this
@mfuhrmann @dadavid if you wanna play around with the idea, there's this Valhalla demo for the traveling salesman problem: https://valhalla.github.io/demos/optimized_route/
You can manually add the locations of the notes you want to include, and it will calculate the optimal route. You could use that to get the "correct order" of the points, and then use the navigation app of your choice (😉) to visit them in that optimal order.
Maybe not ideal, but I don't think there's a "full solution" yet - at least none i know
@gedankenstuecke @dadavid thanks. I will give it a try
