Hey Arun, Thanks for the info. This could be useful actually. Once i create my POI map, I can use Overpass to query them out and share the query results with the world. Am I correct?
Is there any trick to keep track of those places which I tag? Say can I use a tag with my name on it or some keyword on it which will uniquely only be mine? Thank you.
