(I've also been to small Carrefours -- in central Buenos Aires -- that are only supermarkets). Super Walmart and such have full grocery stores (selling fruits, veggies, etc.) in addition to all the other sections. If I were mapping these, they would get the supermarket tag, perhaps in combination with department store. Then, in the US, we have regular, smaller (still big) Targets and Walmarts that mainly sell a variety of other stuff. I would give these just department store tags, though also tagging them as discount=yes would be fine. -Katie > cheers, > Martin > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging > -- Katie Filbert @filbertkm
