Hi,

I have at some places two things close one to another. For example: A wayside cross and, one meter away an old boundary stone.

In the "Edit" mode, I can see the two points, but in the map, I see only the cross. What has I done wrong?

Second question: the boundary stones are no more teh actual frontier between two countries since the Treaty of Versailles. Now These stones are classified as historical monuments. Should I realy mark them as Boundary stones?

If you can point to the specific items in OSM people will be able to check whether the tagging is reasonable for those features.

It is common that some features that exist in the data are not rendered on a map, whether due to there not being room, or the maintainers of that map choosing not to display certain features.

As to the tag, it is still a boundary stone, so historic=boundary_stone seems correct. Maybe add a note that it no longer reflects current boundaries?
