Sorry, "mapped POIs as point features" I meant.
Anyway, I guess the best way to do it is via the scripting capabilities of
osm2pgsql?
The discussion earlier on related to 'micromapping' where a lot of existing
content is only present as nodes, but people are now going back and adding in
the relevant buildings. It would perhaps now be worth going back to discuss an
extension to the API which provides a 'macro' view in addition to also returning
the fine detail. The possible problem with that is that it may actually be
better to provide a node manually at an appropriate location rather than trying
to guess one from the fine detail? Some material only requires a node value and
that should be the master POI set of tagging, while the additional fine detail
forms a secondary layer of information. Only one entity but with a macro and
micro view.
