Many of these places sell a very wide range of goods, so something like building_supplies is sufficiently general to cover such cases. Individual tags for every line would not be feasible, even if the average mapper could get the information, and it was stable over time. So I would be against that micro, or rather nano, mapping :-) ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
