I want to get some node (for example, schools, kindergartens) from Planet.osm (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Planet.osm). I can see necessary objects on the map https://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=59.87326&lon=30.3124&zoom=17&layers=M (school #509, kindergarten #108 and kindergarten #390). But I can't find them in the XML file! I got all nodes, which have Latitude > 59.86 and Latitude < 59.88 and Longitude > 30.31 and Longitude < 30.32 (this part of map). I've got 42 objects with any tags, but I couldn't find school #509, kindergarten #108 and kindergartens #390. Why? Are the information on the map and in the XML file quite different? Why I can't find map's object in the XML file? Thank you! asked 28 Jan '11, 09:58  Yan Fisher |
One Answer:
Hi Yan, I think the problem is that you are searching for nodes, when what you are looking for are drawn as ways (e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/47661121) answered 28 Jan '11, 10:38  EdLoach ♦ |
Thank you! I must look for both, the nodes and the ways.
