Forgive me, if this question is already answered, but on a quick search, I could not find an answer that fits my issue 100%: It is possible to use the place=town/village/suburb etc. on an area or a node. In most cases in my area, both an area and a node are used at the same time. And when tagging, I also do it like this to keep the database uniform. Although it has the result, that a named place appears now twice in the search results, which is not good in my opinion. But it would make sense to use both as in my opinion: - the area with place=* shows clearly, that a certain feature (e.g. street, restaurant) is located in this village or town. - the node with place=* is useful for routing purposes, e.g. I want to go to village XXX, please send me to the village *centre* _centre_ (e.g. main square or something similar). What is the optimal way of having both benefits without disadvantages? Or is it just like eating the cake and keeping it at the same time?
