+1 That’s exactly how I see it. Never, ever would OSM be able to support such a sales directory in a reliable manner, resulting in few people using it because you never can be sure if OSM is missing some important data about the yamaha motor-cycle seller next door to you. I developed http://openpoimap.org <http://openpoimap.org/> to help me in locating POI, but everytime I use it, it only tells me that the number of missing shops is far greater than the shops that *are* on the map. But the same is not true for roads, rivers, landuse, buildings or other geo features. At least not in the countries I regurlay visit (in person or “virtual”). I wouldn’t object against the “sells” tag, but I’m not going to use it. Marc.
