How to get a relation and its geometry, but no nodes

Help and support
1

I’m trying to use overpass turbo to extract data from OSM so that I can feed it to leaflet.js for display on a map. I’m exporting the data from overpass turbo as geojson. This does exactly what I want where the relation does not contain any members of type ‘point’:

// Comrie to Saline Link
rel(18276419);
out geom;

However, if there are points in the relation, as well as ways, then it outputs extra 'feature’s for each point, as returned by:

// Fife Coastal Path
rel(7776868);
out geom;

How can I stop the points being output?

Try to use that query - I think that you are looking for:

// Fife Coastal Path
rel(7776868);
out;
way(r);
out geom skel;

overpass query

Many thanks - that’s done exactly what I wanted! Can’t believe it was that simple - I’ve been playing about with it for a couple of hours and got nowhere. I guess I need to have a careful look at how this all works.
