Display pin instead of area

Question

Display pin instead of area

Closed this issue 2 months ago · 4 comments

I have a uMap that is querying live data from OSM, but when it retrieves an area, like a building instead of a node, then it only displays the building. That makes it very hard to see from low zoom levels. And it is also inconsistent when I'm querying churches, sometimes returning building outlines and other times the pins.

I was thinking maybe you could have like a checkbox in each layer to toggle displaying areas as pins.

Maybe there is a feature like this somewhere? Maybe i could just modify my query? This is my current query https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter?data=[out:json];nwr[denomination=mennonite][amenity=place_of_worship]({south},{west},{north},{east});out geom;

out center instead of out geom should do the trick, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Language_Guide#Geometry_attribute_(center,_center) for caveats.
