I am having troubles with the German Umlaute (ä, ü, ö) and other signs when using osmdata in R.
I can successfully get the data via query (notice the Ü in the bounding box in the first line, it is working fine):
#install.packages("osmdata")
#library(osmdata)
bw <- osmdata::getbb("Baden-Württemberg") %>%
osmdata::opq(timeout = 25*100) %>%
osmdata::add_osm_feature(
key = "admin_level",
value = "4"
) %>%
osmdata::osmdata_sf()
Having a look at the data, one can see that the umlaute aren't displayed correctly.
View(bw$osm_multipolygons)
Consequently, searching by "name" doesn't work anymore:
dplyr::filter(bw$osm_multipolygons, name == "Tirol")
dplyr::filter(bw$osm_multipolygons, name == "Baden-Württemberg")
Tirol is working (no umlaut), Baden-Württemberg (with the ü) isn't.
I'm running R on a German Windows 10, R is running in English.
Best regards
The current working solution for me is described here:
Importing Open Street Map data gives wrong encoding
It is really annoying because a) I am using a function which I don't understand b) it seems to work for other people (@mrgrund)
on the other side, it seems I am not the only person with the problem.
Best regards
