Yup. I'm slowly mapping Manchester's shops and buildings. One common pattern I've found is where you have a fairly large building, often with a fairly grandiose name like 'Louise House', which has retail units on the ground floor, and then office space, or sometimes hair salons on the middle and top floors. In these circumstances, I'm mapping the building as an area (with an associated name=* tag for the building name), and mapping the shops within the retail units as nodes within the outline of the building. Where a single shop takes up the whole building though (eg a big department store), I'm adding the shop=* tags to the building outline itself. Frankie -- Frankie Roberto http://www.frankieroberto.com
