But so is fried octopus balls (takoyaki). The mall near my work has a mcdonalds and a takoyaki stand. Searching for たこやき should bring it up. No problem. The most popular fast food in Japan? Ramen. My friend owns japanese pubs (an izakaya) and ramen shops - people love quick ramen. McDonalds is doing badly here now. Fast food Iconography? Hamburger. Don't confuse searching for an object with how they are sorted/labeled/and represented - nor forget about the inflexibility in OSM/-carto to get them represented differently. (Take-out bag?) Or support regional renderings (buddhist shrines do not use the buddhist wheel in Japan, but thats what they get) Javbw. > -- > Mike. > @millomweb - For all your info on Millom and South Copeland > via the area's premier website - > > currently unavailable due to ongoing harassment of me, my family, property & > pets > > T&Cs > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
