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

[Martin Raifer]

Yes. Just replace the first print statement (`<print mode="body"/>`)
with `<print mode="body" geometry="center"/>` and drop the following
two lines (recurse and second print). This will give you the
coordinates for all nodes and an approximate* centroid for all ways
and relations in the result set. Example:
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/5w2

* Because of performance reasons, this "center" coordinate is not an
exact centroid, but simply the middle of the bounding box around the
object.
