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

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

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

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.

@Dikke-Wim

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

for the query:

Sorry for the confusion!

@Dikke-Wim Somewhat less work than the method you describe

[Dikke Wim]

@Martin-Wilcke

Thanks Martin. It works now much better (see below).

@Mzokk

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.

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.

Excel file with Ribbon (KML does not work yet)
MOHO hotels GPX imported into Excel*

3rd Item in the list selected and button "Show in Google Maps" selected

Import in MRA from GPX file

Import in Basecamp with selected symbol

Data added in Excel and transferred to Garmin GPX, see also the different symbols in the same GPX

Send me your email in a PB and I send you the current file with the following status:

• Made and only tested in Excel/Windows10

• Error handeling is still poor in the progarmming

• Program as is, it works on my system, not tested on other equipment.

• Program is made in MS VBA and not tested in other programs.
