[OSM-dev] Website to generate polygons from OSM relations

[Frank Broniewski]

Hey Jocelyn,

nice work! Your service is really running quite fast. How do you 
determine what a polygon relation is? Do you have a list of keys and 
values, like osm2pgsql does? Or do you check if a geometry is closed and 
produce polygons from them?

This was one of my biggest issues when I tried to convert a osmosis 
geometry to polygons.

Good work,

Frank
