[OSM-dev] Overpass API: Getting nodes together with centroids of areas ("POI query")?

[Stefan Keller]

Hi,

A typical query gives all 1. nodes, 2. ways and 3. areas with
"tourism=zoo” (see below).

But I'd like to get back only point geometries which consist of 1.
nodes together with (union) 2. centroids calculated on the fly from
areas. I coined this a "POI query".

Possible?

Yours, S.
