Is it possible to obtain the real area of a way (or relation)? For example, suppose I want to obtain the real area, in ft^2, of https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6829553

How can I do that?

Thank you

Hi, In JOSM this is easily done with the measurement tool, it gives a result which you'll have to convert to feet. Please see :- https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/measurement
