Yes. To appeal to [1], replace in the URL (in one line) http://78.46.81.38/api/interpreter?data=%3Ccoord- query%20lat=%2251.0%22%20lon=%227.0%22/%3E%3Cprint%20mode=%22body%22/%3E the values 51.0 (latitude) and 7.0 (longitude) by the respective values. Then save the file to disk and you receive an OSM-alike file with the areas that cover the given location. Another, maybe more convenient way would be (command line in one line) wget -O - --post-data="<coord-query lat=\"51.0\" lon=\"7.0\"/><print mode=\"body\"/>" http://78.46.81.38/api/interpreter | gunzip The details are explained at http://78.46.81.38/#section.reverse_gazetteer Cheers, Roland _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
