Hello! (ah, another german :-)).
>> I have not yet found a more >> convinient way than downloading a planet.osm > You may want to query the XAPI for the relevant data > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Xapi "Unlike the main API which restricts queries to 0.25 square degrees, XAPI allows much larger requests, up to 100 square degrees" So I could not get all capitals in one go but must call it multiple times... Not nice but doable. I could ask for nodes of type 'place=city' to get large cities and 'capital="yes"' (if I can judge http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/240109189 correctly) to filter for capitals (I can add two conditions, can't I?). Fine, so this may be a way to get large cities, capitals and possibly also other POIs (while POIs likely do not have a tag for "wellknown"). But how do I get continent and country shapes together with their names (see my other response)? -- Gruß...
