Amazing Highlights from around the World.

a question for the wizards:

trying to write an query for getting the the city boundaries for each european capital (with a view to then querying for things within each area). Is there a way to elegantly handle all the differing adminlevels Grabbing the representative point for each is straightforward enough, but I'm struggling with yanking out just a single boundary for each one. it's bothering me.

The best I've got so far is:


nodecapital=yes(bbox) -> .capitals

relation
(bn.capitals)
"type"="boundary"
"boundary"="administrative"
adminlevel!"(12345)$" -> .capitalboundary
.capitalboundary out geom

or this: if you prefer

suggestions welcome.
