Can someone explain to me the difference between the "loaded" and the "displayed" figures that Overpass Turbo gives in the bottom right corner. I assumed the display was limited to save on browser/network resources. But I would think it would be able to display more than 12 when running this example across County Durham. http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4GR asked 22 Aug '14, 11:30  LivingWithDr... |

It states : loaded 60 nodes, 6 ways, 0 relations displayed pois: 14, ways: 0 , polygons 6. Hence the 6 ways of the "loaded" line are polygons (areas, not ways). 60 nodes - 14 for the pois = 46, so the 6 polygons consist of 46 points in total. So there are 14 picnic sites on that screen represented by a single point and 6 by polygons answered 22 Aug '14, 11:39  escada |
"Loaded" counts the actual OSM data loaded from the server, "displayed" counts the resulting objects displayed on the map. For example, a query that finds one street will only "display" one object (the line) but needs to "load" many elements to do this (the way and all its constituant nodes). answered 22 Aug '14, 11:45  Vincent de P... ♦ |
Of course, polygons consist of nodes. I should know that.
Anyone volunteers to update the wiki page? Thanks.
