Alright, so mapping Italian tobacco shops as shop=newsagent would not make sense. On the other hand, in the Netherlands there are shops that offer everything you might find in a German shop=tobacco (newspapers, magazines, post stamps, lottery bills), except for the tobacco products. So mapping these shops as shop=newsagent wouldn't make sense either. So indeed it seems we will need two tags for very similar shops. Also, we would need to find a way how to tag shops that sell both tobacco and newspapers. Also, I'm still not sure how shop=kiosk fits in this picture. -- Matthijs -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
