Err, I didn't use od for this one and it won't handle big files. What I did was:
$ bzcat planet-070905.osm.bz2 |sed -u -n '/<node
id="78270"/,/<.node>/p' |hexdump -C

It uses sed to cut out the relevent node from the planet file and
pipes it to hexdump. The -u is to make it so you see output sooner
(you can press ctrl-c once you've got what you want).

Have a nice day,
