I am trying doing it in two ways and failing both.

I am drawing maps with OSM data and a database imported by imposm. The issue is that I have no milestones in the database. Is there anyway to get them into the database? I have seen the imposm-mapping.py that is the one mapping from OSM data to the imposm datamodel but I found no documentation on it.

I am also doing some tests with nominatim database and in "place" table I filter by "class=highway" and "type=milestone" but less than 300 milestones found to all spain (I am using spain-last). Maybe I am missing the way of getting milestones from nominatim. Should I use another filter or could milestones be taged other way?

Does anyone drawn milestones using Nominatim datamodel?

According to this Overpass API query there are currently 551 nodes tagged as highway=milestone in Spain. Don't expect every existing milestone to be mapped in OSM, most people don't really care about or need them.

I for one adore milestones and have tagged many of them in Thailand. I use highway=milestone and add a tag for distance and tags for inscriptions in both Thai and English if one is present. I especially like the ones that indicate the beginning of a highway, those that have a distance of 0 km marked on them. I've tagged 231 of those so far.
