    @Martin-Wilcke
    Thank you very much! It seems to work great....
    However, not all dots of castles of South UH that are shown on the map are found in MRA when imported.

    Do you have any idea how to fix this? See screendumps below.

    See e.g. Cornwall with many castles

    Hmmm... Maybe you need to zoom in?

      Unfortunately even when I zoom in more than in the example above, no additional castles appear. Only "few" of the cirkels with castles in the overpass.eu website, are visible.

      Any suggestions what I do wrong?

        @Dikke-Wim

        OK - let's focus on "Crane Castle" as an example; it's this one:

        crane 1.jpg

        Please have a look at the GPX you've uploaded with an editor and search for "Crane", there should be a match like this:

        crane 2.jpg

        In MRA, search for "Portreath" and zoom in to a scale of 1 km / 1 mile or less:

        crane 3.jpg

        Does it show up?

          And one more note:

          I have just noticed that "historic=castle" can be modelled both as a ‘node’ (point) and as a ‘way’ (path, here in the sense of area). They appear as yellow dots for nodes and red dots for ways/areas.

          That's why my example query node ["historic"="castle"]; is not ideal, because it only finds castles that are modelled as a point.

          Better, as in your example, is nwr ["historic"="castle"]; as it includes nodes, ways and relations.

            OK - I got it.

            You need an out centre (instead of an out geom) to create a single node for ways/areas. This will generate waypoints for both types (nodes and ways) when exporting as GPX.

            Here's the result

            https://hidrive.ionos.com/lnk/LhseBgcKc

            for the query:

            UK Castles 3.jpg

            Sorry for the confusion!

              @Mzokk Thanks a lot. But.... is a lot of work I guess. Therefore I prefer AI who takes over the difficult stuff. I'm doing some experiments with AI. Curious how things work out.

                  What method do you mean? I don't get it.
                  For me: the easier the better!

                      @Martin-Wilcke this is amazing never knew how to use this feature! It would be of great help if the MRA team @Corjan-Meijerink could make a YouTube tutorial on this. 🙏

                        I do not think @Greenham want to harvest POI's but to put his own POI's into MRA in bulk.
                        I use Excel to make them and then convert to GPX.
                        MRA only uses the description but If I load them into my Garmin I get the other fields also. I am now busy to find out how to bulk import a GPX into my little housemade tool.

                          As another member of this forum asked me the same because I replied here, I have been dusting off my 20 year old programming skills in Excel VBA 🙂

                          the today status of the tools is the following

                          • Import simple POI GPX files into Excel

                          • Edit the imported file and add Symbol, Description, Street, Phone etc for import into Garmin devices

                          • Export the POI file to GPX format

                          • Double Click on the filled in row and the POI wil open in Google maps.
