Hi, I am quite now to osm and the answer to my question might be obvious but why does the following filter result in osm-points not being tagged as shops? key = "shop" & value = "supermarket" The corresponding polygons are tagged as shops but not all the points. Thank you for clarifying. asked 08 Dec '17, 12:05  pabuta edited 08 Dec '17, 13:37  scai ♦ |
One Answer:
It really depends on the software you are using. A simple filter software would perhaps give you only the nodes, ways, and relations that do indeed match your rule, but in most cases knowing that "there is a way tagged as shop=supermarket" but not knowing where that way is, isn't all that helpful - hence many filter programs will helpfully add the nodes required to build the way's geometry. These nodes will then of course not carry the supermarket tags. answered 08 Dec '17, 12:23  Frederik Ramm ♦ |
I am currently using the R-package osmdata to download osm data for analysis and not for editing. Do I need to ask the question somewhere else?
It looks like someone's asked a somewhat similar question at https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/264569/how-to-plot-osm-polygons-using-osmdata-and-leaflet-in-r .
