@ -41,3 +41,21 @@ border while the closest street is on the other. As the address details contain
|
||||
the address of the closest object found, you might sometimes get one result,
|
||||
sometimes the other for the closest point.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Can you return the continent?
|
||||
|
||||
Nominatim assigns each map feature one country. Those outside any administrative
|
||||
boundaries are assigned a special no-country. Continents or other super-national
|
||||
administrations (e.g. European Union, NATO, Custom unions) are not supported,
|
||||
see also [Administrative Boundary](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative#Super-national_administrations).
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. Can you return the timezone?
|
||||
|
||||
See this separate OpenStreetMap-based project [Timezone Boundary Builder](https://github.com/evansiroky/timezone-boundary-builder)
|
||||
|
||||
#### 6. I want to download a list of streets/restaurants of a city/region
|
||||
|
||||
The [Overpass API](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API) is more
|
||||
suited for these kinds of queries.
|
||||
|
||||
That said if you installed your own Nominatim instance you can use the
|
||||
`/utils/export.php` PHP script as basis to return such lists.
