 When clicking on a node, it would be handy to show the location on the map 
on the left side.

   I have started using OSM data and have a general request for EVERYONE 
writing filters and queries for restaurants: although OSM has a handy 
classification amenity=fast_food, provide an option to group this category 
with amenity=restaurant , cuisine=all.    I've seen this separated in almost 
all OSM POI browsers, and it's very awkward and unintuitive to have the 
fast_food filter separate, or worse, buried under a completely different 
filter tree than restaurants.
