Or am I way off base here? Toby I'm sure it's not a discussion for the dev-list but shortly, the place node(s) and the administrative boundary are two different things. You can have more than one place node inside a boundary polygon. In my country, we use the role admin_centre in the boundary relation to indicate which place node is the administrative centre. What you mention is more a rendering issue. Pieren ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Wyo, No specific reason. It looked like the quickest route to demonstrable results for someone not at all familiar with modern web technologies such as myself. And it did - I did this in a few hours, including the PHP script that calls Nominatim and parses the result.
