Absolutely. The problem with doing it that way is that node IDs are fairly transient. Anything within a way, in particular, is liable to be renumbered if the node is merged/split. The first solution that comes to mind (may only be half thought-out) is to match fairly fuzzily by physical properties, not by id - the building is less likely to move. Something like "café near 51.87524,-2.53891 with name like Ramble On" in URL form. It's pretty much a Namefinder-type query, I guess. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Fw%3A--Geowanking---Fwd%3A--Ann--LinkedGeoData.org--tp24501694p24502105.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
