<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Exactly what I feared, that point in
Muizen has probably never been of any importance, in that sense
the real historic centre of Muizen is the area at the new church
(and old tower) , about 1Km to the northwest of the current
coordinate used as centre. Thats the reason I asked, it is so
way off anything important (ever) and the location is
insignificant even now. Muizen (was) a village that is divided by
de Dijle and de Leuvense Steenweg. Mechelen is currently
consuming it at an evergrowing rate.<br>

What is the point of the administrative center in the relation ?

I'm from that area, I know Muizen by heart but that
administrative center .... that position has no meaning to me,
just wondering what that represents. <br>

I'm not sure about Muizen, but I can compare with Dolembreux.<br>
The question is first: "what is Dolembreux?"<br>
Dolembreux is a "former municipality". It no longer exists as an
administrative boundary but yet it is still mapped as such,
historically. People love that.<br>
And its "admin_center" is the "former administrative center". It
no longer exists as such either, but the mention continues to
indicate where the center town or village is.<br>
It's just like Searching for Brussels on <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://OSM.org">OSM.org</a>,
selecting Village Boundary and you get this boundary <a

with the village in the middle :-)<br>
I personally love this one the best -)<br>
<br>
Please note that, if the administration has moved to level 8 (to
have the citizens pay petrol rather than the administration pay
personnel), the Post Office continues to use level 9 very much
(for post, not office) and that they even use a sort of level 10.<br>
<br>
I would vote for a former_admin_center proposition, but there
should be an admin_center vote first!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
