How to get coordinates stored in OSM(PostgreSQL with PostGIS)?

Question

PostgreSQL

Hello, I am raising the tracking and monitoring service for a taxi. I do it for the first time. It is very difficult to search for information, due to the fact that so far I am poorly versed in geolocation issues.
The essence of the question is as follows - there are coordinates that are stored in a locally raised database where the city was previously imported (osm2pgsql). The planet_osm_nodes table looks like:

But, I could not determine the coordinate format.

What is the format and how to convert the data back, well, or give a link to understand how it works. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

planet_osm_nodes is a by-product of osm2psql. You need the planet_osm_point label for point features. The geometry is stored in the way field in postgis format.

Answer 2

Usually there should be a separate column with geometry of type GEOM. And there they are stored in binary format.
And in theory, you can see them like this SELECT GeomCol.ToString() FROM db
