Hi, I'm aware of the move to areas to identify building as opposed to single POIs - but with that change, there is no longer "a point" for distance calculation, or for display on simpler overlays. How are you supposed to work with such data for tasks like that? I would have thought that if a building outline is to be defined in detail, then one of the details should be a single point that defines the entrance location for routing & detail calculations? calculations, distinctive from normal outline nodes? (or the main entrance / each entrance on a building with more than one). Ref. https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/22962/should-i-use-pois-or-areas-to-identify-shops Thanks, TBF.
