Sorry if I've misunderstood you, but hardware stores here sell building supplies, they vary in size from a small store to massively big warehouses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_store The only thing I see wrong with the shop=hardware page is it explicitly states a small shop, but I disagree with that, they can be quite large as well, even the image shown is for a big store, not a small one. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
