Hi,

Can anyone tell me if I can download vector data of vertical obstacles like electric towers, telecom towers, radio towers, etc... for any country. Also, are these data available in the Open street map, and if so, is there any way to extract them separately.

Thank You

Arun Ganesh

Yup, they are on OSM. 

- Check https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/power=tower for relevant OSM tags to query
- Use Overpass to query the live data with the tags for the object you want. eg: power and communication towers: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/12jf
