There is a webservice that receives osm_id child nodes and parent node with a osm_id? At least at the level of administrative division? Example: from the osm_id of Utah, i want to find the id of the counties and the id of U.S. nation. Many Thanks asked 04 Jul '12, 10:23  Independent L edited 04 Jul '12, 11:04  Pieren |
One Answer:
OSM objects do not have a strict parent/child hierarchy like the one you describe. If you want to find the administrative areas that a place belongs to, you can use Nominatim, and in particular the free MapQuest Open instance. answered 04 Jul '12, 18:31  Richard ♦ |
