    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?

    No castles in Cornwall after importing the GPX file

    the KML file shows more castles in Google Earth than the GPX file in MRA

    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 โ€˜nodeโ€™ (point) and as a โ€˜wayโ€™ (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. ๐Ÿ™

                    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 ๐Ÿ™‚

                      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.
