I agree I realise this thread was initially about buildings but when I’m using OsmAnd to find, for example, a public transport ticket machine at an airport, I want to see a photo of the machine so I know what I’m looking for not a frame of someone driving around a carpark. I’ve started using wikimedia_commons tag but OsmAnd doesn’t appear to support it.
